To be fair, PDFMaker is an Adobe product, so it's not necessarily
Microsoft's fault if the bookmark/TOC levels are wrong in the PDF.
If they're wrong in the Word document, of course, that's another story.
(Clever quote I saw once: "The day you can buy a Microsoft product
that doesn't suck is the day they start selling vacuum cleaners.")
