Need to be careful. PDF is a one way street. Word Perfect, current version, can export to it, but not open and modify a document once encoded. To do that you need to pay more than I can justify to get the Acrobat program. PDF documents can take forever to download on a slow dialup connection; I tend to avoid them for this reason. Even downloading the free reader took a couple of hours. PDF format, I understand, is very much like a postscript stream enclosed in file packaging. It is not to be confused with the postscript printer language or the Ghost program for replicating hard drives or ghostwriter module to print to a Wintel printer. I much prefer plain text. If you just want to read and print a MS Word document, you can use WordPad, a part of Windows, or download a viewer/printer, free from Microsoft. WordPad has some basic editing capabilities, but not the editor of choice for Dustin's next book.
