Default I forget how to make Word doc a .pdf!!

Can anyone help me out here? My computer in the other room which is XP and hooked to my printer won't work networked on a Vista PC. So I want to write a Word document to a .pdf file b/c XP screws up my fonts in Word '03 on XP.


Thanks

EDIT: I can do it on Mac, therefore Mac is my next laptop!

yeah office Mac has built in pdf i think (at least i have) on xp you either have to get ADOBE ACROBAT 7 or 8 which has plugin (with MS office) to print the file and output it as pdf or you have to get a free pdf printer on google, there are dozens, google them up

edit : a very first link on google

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional is what I use. It is tops and I have had no problems. Even can convert web pages and other files to PDF and from PDF to other files.

It does cost $$$ but Im sure there might be smaller free versions out there somewhere. Just have a good look and know your stuff.....

If it a one off convert i can do it for you if you want.

I know office 2007 has a plugin that you can download off of microsoft's website but I don't think that 2003 has it

How come your XP machine won't work networked with Vista? Maybe we can solve that problem.

And in terms of printing to pdf - why not try the free primoPdf on your Vista machine? http://www.primopdf.com/
