It proves that Word has never really evolved past being a literal 'word processor'. I've had all sorts of shenanigans when trying to insert an excel object into a word document then naively expecting WYSIWIG until printer spits out the hardcopy. >>> Howard.Silcock@xxxxxxxxxxx 15/06/07 2:27 pm >>> I finally sorted out my problem with converting Word to PDF. Or maybe it was just a workaround. I decided to convert the document into Publisher. This was a non-trivial task, as much of it required another round of formatting, but when I printed it to Adobe PDF, it looked just fine. Maybe I've learnt something about trying to do too much with Word! Thank you again, very sincerely, to everyone who made suggestions.
