I've got Adobe Acrobat installed on my system, but the pagemaker feature in
Word has gone missing. Any advice on how to retrieve it? For some reason it's
present in my other Office apps, like Excel and Project...

Which version of Acrobat? See
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm for inspiration.
Note Word uses a different add-in from Excel etc.

A lot of people seem to ask for help getting it out of rather than into
Word. I posted a way to get rid of it yesterday. However, that is also the
way to get it out. Instead of entering an X to stop the program, click one
of the other options. See if that works.

My earlier post:
I assume you are using Adobe Acrobat, not just the free reader, which does
not create PDF files. I have used this simple way to get rid of the Adobe
Acrobat PDFMaker in Word and Outlook. No macros or anything. Go to Control
Panel and Add/Remove Programs. Scroll down to Adobe Acrobat and click
Change/Remove. The setup wizard will start. Click Modify and Next. A
directory tree will appear. Click on the + sign next to Create Adobe PDF
and then on the + sign for Adobe PDFMaker. You should see a list of
programs under this, including Microsoft Office, each with an icon to the
left. Click on the little arrow on the icon and you will have a few
choices. You want the X ("This feature will be unavailable...") for Office
and for any other programs where you don't want the PDFMaker running. I did
this for both Office and Outlook. Click Update and follow the rest of the
instructions. This got rid of that toolbar and all the Acrobat issues with
Word for me, while allowing me to use Acrobat whenever I needed it.

I'm afraid the below method didn't quite do the trick. I did what you
suggested, and it turns out that I already have PageMaker set up to all my
Office programs, but am currently unable to create PDF's of Word documents (I
have Acrobat 6.0).

Any other suggestions/

See http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/328909.html "PDFMaker
is unavailable in a Microsoft Office application (Acrobat 6.x on
Windows XP or 2000)".
