It Might Not be Broken!

The following is just a piece of information that I thought I would pass on to other computer users. This is not the first time that this type of situation has happened to me. Since I have experienced similar before, I knew that there had to be a reason that I couldn't access a program that I knew I had installed on my machine.

I like to create PDF (portable document format) files. I was trying to create one from Word 2000, and I got an error message stating that Acrobat Distiller was not on my system. It stated that I needed to use PDFWriter instead. Both PDFWriter and PDFMaker can be found as various Macros and in various forms. And, of course, in various folders. Prior to installing Microsoft Office 2000, I had taken off Adobe Acrobat Distiller 3.02 and other 3+ versions and put on Adobe Acrobat 4.00. Word in Office 2000 did not recognize this later version. I had to reinstall Acrobat 3.01 if I wanted to create PDF files using Acrobat Distiller.
