Macros still work after converting .doc-->.pdf-->.doc???

I'm trying to implement the use of some macros at work and the next problem
facing me is the file control system that we use. All of our documents are
created in Word then stored on the network as a PDF then when you need to
edit them again they are converted to a Word document. So now the question...

Will this conversion cycle (.doc-->.pdf-->.doc) interfere with the macro
that I've created for the document?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It surely will. PDF's do not contain macros. There are other things you will
lose in translation also. The conversion to PDF and back will not return you
to the document you had in the first place.

Thank you. I was fearing the worst with this. Looks like I'll have to
figure a way around this :) I think that means another topic or two are
coming ;)
