Betty, I just went through my Word 2000 processor and I can't find any place where it suggests it will print to pdf.

In my Word 97 under File it says Print to PDF... but you have to have Adobe Writer installed to do it. Go to www.bluesquirrel.com and take a look at their PDF writer. It's only $18.95. http://www.bluesquirrel.com/so/specials.html#congress And while I'm at it: Does anybody have a problem with FO creating a report with an index in .rtf format and the index doesn't show up?

Frank, The wordprocessor has to create the index in PDF format. Just go to the end of the PDF document , just below where it says "Index", then to the "Insert" menu item and select "index", choose the format and type you want and hit the OK button and there it is.
