As far as I am aware, only the full version of Acrobat gives the option of
converting from a right click in Explorer - the free ones work by 'printing'
to a driver.

That's correct. The software Graham referred to, the full version of
Adobe Acrobat, is rather expensive.
If you just want the basic conversion without the many features
Acrobat provides, there are free alternatives. Ones with good
reputations are CutePDF, PrimoPDF, and PDF995. Most of them install
as printer drivers; you open your document in Word, open the Print
dialog, and choose the PDF software as the "printer".

Graham, Thanks for the response. I installed Adobe Reader 8, but now
I'm assuming I need some other third party software to have this
option. Do you know what other software I need?
Thanks again.

Neither Word nor Windows offer such a function by default.

protect my proposals, but the option isn't available. Any
suggestions?
