Apparently Word does not provide a facility to save a document in PDF
format.

The Microsoft site points to a list of approved vendors (or some
designation like it) software but all I saw was PDF to DOC converters;
I want to go the other way, from DOC to PDF.

Ideally, I would like to simply save the document in PDF format. I
have looked at CutePDF, which looks like a virtual printer which
creates the document.

Suggestions please.

Thanks.

You say that CutePDF "looks like a virtual printer." This in fact is the way
all PDF writers (including the original, Adobe Acrobat) create PDF files.
Although Office 12 apps will offer native support for PDF creation, in
current versions of Word you do need a third-party PDF writer. If Acrobat is
too pricey for you, see http://www.gmayor.com/favorite.htm links to some
alternatives.
