Hi Margaret, You asked about pictures. Whether or not your pictures are in the rtf depends on the setting you choose. See the Pictures tab in the Report Options. Note that the pictures will turn up in the rtf in various sizes and positions across the page. I don't know why the same sized pictures don't come in the same - but they don't in my experience - but they're there.
As others have said, to get back to pdf, install a free pdf printer. I've used Bullzip for some years but sometimes now use the printer that installs with Foxit PDF reader. In the RTF you generate the Table of Contents and the Indexes when you've finished editing. You can see the embedded code for the index if you turn on see hidden text in your Word Processor. You can add other items to the index if you want. The Table of Contents is generated using heading levels in the Word Processor. Have fun, 600 plus pages is a lot of editing. Don't forget to make your corrections in Legacy as well. Cathy Wendy Howard wrote: > > Hi Margaret, > > There is a free program called CutePDF that I find very handy.
