How to create a .pdf file from a Word document

 

• The steps below are now obsolete. Word in Office 2008 has the built-in ability to save a file as a pdf file. Choose Save As and choose the .pdf option.
• Log onto a computer that has Adobe Acrobat.
  In the computer lab, that's #06 or #07.
  (You do not need to start Adobe Acrobat. I just needs to be on the computer.)
• Open your document in Word.
• Do File > Print
  (I know, you weren't trying to print, just to create a file: bear with me...)
• Drop down the list of available printers and select "Adobe PDF".
  (This really tells it to make a .pdf file -- go figure!)
• Now you get a dialog much like the Save As dialog. It lets you tell it where to save the file and what to name it. Just complete that process and you are finished.
