Re: Microsoft Word Questions

[ActionA -at- aol -dot- com]

Hi All,
 
Thank you to the folks who responded. Since I (and my client) was hoping  
that there was something easy that I overlooked, I'm advising the client to  
either live without an automated solution (the manual solution is not what they  
want), or to switch to Frame (which is what they should have used for this  
application, IMHO).
 
Regards,
Nancy Adams

Re the index: AFAIK there is simply no way to convert a Word  index into
hyperlinked bookmarks in a PDF. Perhaps there's an add-on  package, but
it's simply not possible with the standard Acrobat PDFMaker or  Acrobat
Distiller or the Acrobat PDF print  driver.

Wow!  I guess I owe an apology  to Nitro-PDF (my Frugal Converter).  Now
I'm interested, might see if  manually-inserted bookmarks make it through
the conversion process.   As I said, my folks are still at the "there are
words on paper?  And  they actually make sense?  That's new and
different!" stage.  I'm  sure we'll become more technologically
sophisticated once the shine of this  new program wears off -- so I
should start looking in those areas  now.
