One work around I've found that works for me here, is to print the PDF file
to my OCR or scanner software. From here I can push the converted PDF file
to Wordperfect or in your case, Word. I suppose there may be some add on
viewer that would allow you to insert the pdf file into a Word document but
I haven't been that far with it.

Subject: MI Off topic - Importing PDF into MS Word etc...
> G'day fellow mappers,

> Slightly off the MapInfo topic here, but does anyone know how to import
.pdf files back into MSOffice 97 Applications like Word etc...

> I have been printing my maps to file (using Adobe Arobat 3.0 to save as a
.ps file) then using Adobe distiller to create the .pdf's. - This creates a
lovely clear image with readable text etc... My problem though is that all
the end users want to shove them into Word etc... and frankly, I am out of
ideas!
