Hi Roger,
Just to add to the above comment - if your office pack does not allow printing to PDF, you can print to Postscript and then convert the Postscript to PDF using ghostscript.
No, my Office 2000 doesn't seem to have this, unless there is a service pack or other update I haven't installed ??

Go to your Printers control panel, create a New
Printer, use the driver for the Apple LaserWriter
(included with most if not all versions of Windows)
and set it to print to file, rather than to a real
printer. When you print to that "printer", it will
ask you for a filename -- end the filename in ".ps"
(stands for PostScript). These files can then be
opened in GSView (or Acrobat Reader, I think)
or converted to Acrobat's (un)Portable
Document Format using ps2pdf.
However, this method will
require manual opening and printing-to-file of each
and every document, which isn't what you asked for
in your original post and is probably not what you
really want to do, unless you're only doing a few
documents. (If you *are* doing only a handful of
documents, then it's an easy way out, which is
why I explained it.)

Did as per the instructions, and when in Word and using _that_ driver to print, it printed to file, but the extension was .PRN ? When I added the driver, there were HEAPS of Apple LaserWriter ones, I just selected the default. Under the printer options, there were some PS options, so maybe I'll have to read up on that. This is a Win95 box, dinasour stuff
These files can then be opened in GSView (or Acrobat Reader, I think) or converted to Acrobat's (un)Portable Document Format using ps2pdf.
Okay, when I get the files to print to PS format, I'll try that.

Well, it is only for a few, but I guess once I can do it, I'll want to do it more. :)
