Karen,
I think some of the answer will depend on whether you've upgraded to Acrobat 4.
My experience is very limited, but I found that converting a moderately
complex Word file using Acrobat 3 was painful and gave poor results (lack
of graphics and/or text quality) unless I did a lot of tweaking of
settings. Then I got Acrobat 4; converting the same Word file was easy,
hassle-free, and gave excellent results.
