I have Office 2003 and Adobe Professional 6.0

I can, however, get word to convert any of my files to a Pdf document. I
does it easily in all other Office products but not in Word.

I have Pdf conversion buttons on my menu bar in Power Point, Excel, Outlook,
etc, but not in Word.

I have tried the folliwng with no success:
1) Select SAVE in File menu to save as Pdf. I don't get an option to save
as Pdf.
2) Open Adobe and select Create Pdf, the open the Word document that I like
to convert. It sees the document for a couple of seconds and goes away with
no results.
3) In Word, selcted Options menu to see if I am able to select save as Pdf.
But I don't get that option.

4) Reinstalled Word and Acrobat twice. Still the same.

Any recommendations please?

Many thanks

A few things to check:
1. Make sure the PDFMAKER.DOT and PDFMAKERA.DOT files are in
your Word startup folder. In Word, click on Tools | Options |
File Locations, to see where your startup folder is.
2. In Word, click on Tools | Macro | Security | Security
Level. If your macro security level is set to High, then either
change the security level to Medium, or add Adobe to the list of
trusted sources. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...356731033.aspx
"Modify the list of trusted publishers for macros" for more
information on how to do the latter.
3. In Word, click on Tools | Templates and Add-ins... under
"Global templates and add-ins", is PDFMaker.dot listed as a
choice, and is it checked?
4. In Word, click on View | Toolbars... is PDFMaker listed as
a choice, and is it checked?

Acrobat 6 requires the latest update to work with Word 2003. You will find
that on Adobe's support site.
The Word add-in should be installed in the Office startup folder - by
default -
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP and you will have to set
macro security to trust it. Acrobat 6 predates Word 2003 and its
installation routine doesn't recognize Word's directory structure.
