Word hangs when converting to PDF

I have a 5MB Word file that hangs when I attempt to "Save as PDF". The conversion process starts (scans hyperlinks, etc.), but then after a few minutes it just hangs.

Is there anything I can do to convert this document?
 
instead of saving as a PDF I suggest printing the document to the distiller. This will open up a file dialog box that will allow you to enter the PDF file name.

I've had problem in the past with the "speed buttons" and "save-as" options. I've had great results using the distiller.

If you don't already know, you can select Acrobat (or Acrobat Distiller [depending on you system]) from the "File->Print" menu options.

good luck.
