Convert word to pdf

[smokeycat]

Two problems really.....
I have recently installed Acrobat X Pro, but am still using Microsoft Word 2002. I used to have "convert to pdf" options on the Word toolbar but they have disappeared, presumably as a result of the new version of Acrobat being installed. I can produce a pdf by using the File > print command in Word, but it results in a large pdf which, when I try to optimise it in Acrobat, comes up with the error message "page contains renderable text" and won't reduce the file size. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Smokey

Just found the answer, which is to go File > save as > optimised pdf - tada!
Thanks anyway,

You also could have upgraded to Word 2007 or 2010, where Publish As PDF is built-in..

In older versions of Word you might check View|Toolbars and see if the Adobe toolbar became unchecked.

Thanks Fred - I would love to upgrade to a later version of Word but I'm in the cash-strapped Local Government sector so that's a non-starter I'm afraid.
Genomon, I checked out the toolbars but there's no Adobe one to check. I think it may have been a macro previously.
Thanks for suggestions.
