Can anyone help me?

I just switched from Office XP to Office 2003. The problem in word 2003 this:
When I convert document (simple text file w/hyperlinks, nothing more) to
Adobe PDF and open in Acrobat, some areas I cannot select and even to put
cursor into. I tried to open this Word file in Office XP €“ it works fine, but
asking me to save file even I just opened in XP. It means something different
between XP and 2003. Does anyone know what it can be, that makes some text
impossible to select in PDF.

I can send sample if its not clear. Its very important for me, because I
format tech. docs mostly using Word.

Any info will appreciates, thanks
A

most likely when it's not really "text" anymore (a raster or vector
image). Ordinary text should not become a raster image, but if one
applies, say, special effects to the text (think WordArt etc.), this
will happen. The vector part is less likely, because it would be all or
nothing: all text will be saved as outlines, or not.

hi Robert,
Thanks for response
This is a real text, no image, no raster €“ I layout using master page with
styles. Just some parts appear non-selectable, its may even part of word or
part of row, etc. And again its newer happen to me using Office XP (same
files, same client, same master page)
If I could send a sample to you would be more clear

If you have any other suggestion €“ I would appreciate.
But, thanks again
A

Master page = template?


If I could send a sample to you would be more clear

If you can, load it up to a web or ftp server and put the path here.
