I bought Office Home and Student 2007 in the spring. Installed it on my first laptop. It has a Word function that allows to save documents in PDF format (in the 'save as type ' roll down list). Since the Home and Student CD is good for 3 PC's I now installed it on 2 other systems. For some strange reason the 'save as' in PDF format is no more there. Does anybody know how to get it back. PDF files are sooo practical in some instances. Thanks for the answers.

From a quick search it appears you need to download an addon from Microsoft to add PDF support to Office.
The download is at http://www.microsoft.com/downl.....laylang=en
Why you wouldn't have needed to do that on your first laptop for PDF support I have no idea.

Cool jd2066 - I did as you said and it worked. Thank you. No idea why it is running on my first laptop. Since I am somewhat new to the PC world I would be interested to know how you did this ' quick search' that found the above URL. With Google I never know exactly what to put in order to find exactly what I am looking for -rather than a gezillion useless webpages.

I just did a search on Google for "Word 2007 PDF" (without quotes) and the first result was a download for saving to PDF or XPS. I then scrolled down on that page to related downloads and selected the download page for just saving to PDF as you didn't mention needing to save to XPS.

Thanks jd2066 - I guess my search argument was too wordy. But I may get better at it over time. Bought myself a Google book. Reading it may help. Have a nice day and thanks again. WHS
