in PDF format?

Except that PDF doesn't work so well with some PowerPoint project, and that
was the OP's initial inquiry.

Because, just maybe, Microsoft doesn't really want their software to
work well with PDF?

But besides that, you may also be able to avail yourself of NeoOffice or
OpenOffice as a free download and not have to go through those machinations.

One very large organization I deal with, when asked to please send PDF
instead of .doc files, said plaintively that Gee, they had to pay an
extra fee to MS for every copy of Word they bought that could output
docs in PDF format. You wouldn't suppose that MS would do that as a way
to try to push all of this organization's correspondents into having to
acquire Word also?

I don't spend my life Microsoft-bashing -- but I think they deserve
every bit of bashing they get, and more.
