Are you using a proprietary PDF creation tool or is it a freeware version? It's not (so far as I can remember) Word that needs to be customised but the PDF creator.

Do I need to do something to my Word doc to keep this from happening? Thanks, Michele B.

Then: (a) people won't be able to alter it and (b) people won't need to have Publisher installed to be able to read it (which they would need if you put it on the site as a publisher file!) There are many freeware and shareware products which will produce PDF versions - suggest you do a Google. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
