Ok, I didn't explain the situation very well. I apologize. To start with, this has
been my
first attempt at creating PDF files. I may be missing something very obvious here. I
wish to
create some documents in PDF format but also want it to be able to center text,
different font
sizes, possibly some bold as well. I tried kword and saved to .txt format which won't
work. I
also tried saving in kwd format but that didn't work either (obviously). Everything I
seem to
find talks about converting txt files but if txt files do not have formatting, what
should I be
trying to do? I have never tried this on windows either...I am totally new to creating
PDF
files.
Money is not an issue. If I can find something to do this then paying for it is no
problem. I
can see how this could be very useful. I tend to purchase all software if it serves my
purposes.
Vern
