Cynthia- When you installed Acrobat, it should have installed some macros in Word, including a little PDF icon on the tool bar, to make it easy to create a PDF from an existing document. Here's the directions from the Acrobat Help file (I agree that the help documentation, which is in PDF form, is a pain to use):
"In Microsoft Word 97 or Word 2000, choose File > Create Adobe PDF, or click the Create Adobe PDF icon on the Microsoft application tool bar. Select PDFWriter or Distiller, set other options if necessary, and click Create. You can click the Help button in this dialog box to open a document with more information."
