    I have a doc with lots of images and text divided into
    2
    columns and want to convert it into a PDF, but every
    time
    I do so, the text on some pages will shift to the next
    column or next pages by a sentence or two, ruining the
    doc.

    The following might help.

    In Word, use
    File >> Print
    And choose Acrobat as the printer.

    But don't print yet.

    First "Close" the Print dialog box.

    If my hunch is correct, the page breaks will now be the
    way Acrobat will
    print them. So now adjust things the way you like and
    print.

    (I have Word 97.)

    Thank You Jay! Saved hours of frustration!!!!

    In addition to that, use Print Preview to check where the breaks are, that's the most accurate as the actual determination of pages in Word is only made when the doc is sent to a specific printer or sent to PDF.
