What is the best way to creat pdf files? Word’s help system does not recognize it so I assume, that unlike other programs, Word cannot creat pdf files itself. I ghear there are free prgrams that do this. Which is best? Do any integrate in to Word as addins? Thanks!

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
