Hi, Mandy.
No, it never got as far as the hanging on Distiller. I, too, always have
that hanging on Distiller, and what I do is stop the process, then refresh
my view of the folder, and I see the .pdf file I can convert.
This was hanging in the headings and bookmarks section, and I've figured out
that it is at least partially being caused by my template having too much
embedded-table material. Thanks for the help!

Hi Kim
I've have that problem every time I create a PDF from Word--the Distiller
seems to get hung at 'Starting to Distil', but then when I check the folder
I was saving the PDF to, there it is, and it works just fine.
So, if you haven't, you might want to see if a PDF has been created, despite
what the Distiller is telling you.
Hope this helps,
Mandy
