I have a chart in pdf format that I wish to bring into Word 2002. I suppose
I could print it out, scan it, and then bring the image into Word, but does
Word have its own utility to import a pdf directly into Word?

Thanks.

Unfortunately not without some third party utility. These scan the image on
screen which cuts out a step or two and usually give better results. If you
search Google, you'll find loads of them, many just a few bucks. I also
believe that Adobe has an on line service to convert a PDF to Document: you
send them the PDF and they will convert it to Word. But only if there are no
copyright issues.

I should have added that before now, I have used a good digital camera to
photograph a graphic and used that in Word.

Adobe Reader allows you to capture images or take a "snapshot" of a selected
area. Either method copies information to the Clipboard, whence it can be
pasted into Word.

Yes I just discovered that which will be fine for my purposes.

Thanks.
