If Word's there when you install Acrobat, Adobe installs the PDFMaker DLL
and some related macros into Word. Then, in Word, you'll have an Acrobat
menu and a couple of toolbar buttons.
If you installed Word after Acrobat, uninstall and reinstall Acrobat.
If Word was installed first, either the Acrobat installation wasn't
completely successful or someone has modified Word's interface or otherwise
hidden/disabled/removed the Acrobat-related items.
Before reinstalling anything, check for the ConvertToPDF macro (Tools >
Macros). If it's there, maybe the only problem is that the Acrobat menu and
buttons have been hidden (Tools > Customize).
HTH!
