How to convert .doc file to .pdf file from Word, please ?!

I am trying to convert a .doc file ( a manuscript ) to a .pdf to transfer to
Palm. Adding converters was not the answer.

You need the to get the full version of Adobe Acrobat (not just
the free Adobe Reader... see
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/main.html ) or one of
Acrobat's many shareware and freeware clones (see
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=pdf+converter&btnG=Search
) .

There are many programs out there that will generate a PDF from "any"
file... Acrobat is the original (expensive) one but there are also
free ones. (Google it). They install and then act like a printer....
you select the pdf generator and then "print" your file... resulting
in a PDF of your file.

If you have Acrobat installed correctly, then to get it from Word
to Acrobat, you can either click on the "Convert to Adobe PDF"
button on the Acrobat toolbar in Word, or print to the Acrobat
PDFWriter printer in the File->Print menu.

You'll need to provide some information if you want some help.

If you have Acrobat installed (the full version, not just the reader)
there is a "printer" installed called "Adobe PDF". Just select that
printer from Word and print your file. The PDF will be generated.
Many of the free PDF generators work the same way.
