Create bookmarks?

[Faith90189]

I know this is a REALLY simple question, but how are bookmarks in Adobe created from a Word document that uses headings and TOCs? I don't want to have to re-create all my bookmarks!

From MS Word, with your document open, click on Acrobat, then Change Conversion Settings. Click on the Bookmarks tab (at the top of the window. Turn on or off (by clicking the boxes) all of the attributes you want or don't want.

What do you mean by "click on Acrobat?

I apologize. I assumed you have Adobe Acrobat installed. It adds an entry to the right side of the MS Word menu toolbar. What are you using to pdf your documents?

I think I know what you're talking about, but I don't have the Adobe icon on my toolbar. I just print the Word docs to the Acrobat Distiller to make the PDFs.

Thanks very much for your help!

Somehow, within Adobe Acrobat, you have to find the option to "Change Conversion Settings" to indicate which MS Word styles or headings to use for bookmarks. It's not available within Acrobat Distller.

When I installed Adobe Acrobat (version 5.0), it added itself to my main MS Word 2000 toolbar, after Help. That's where I change the bookmark settings. How did you install Acrobat?

I uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat 5.0, but I still don't have an Acrobat icon on my toolbar. Any ideas?

Nevermind! I checked the Adobe site and found that I needed to install a 5.05 patch to work with XP. I now have the icons, and I really appreciate your help!
