HOW TO CONVERT WORD DOCUMENT INTO PDF
It’s only logical, or let’s say… natural… that Microsoft add this feature of converting Microsoft doc files into PDF within word itself. Yes, the procedure is quite simple and doesn’t even demand much time nor energy (which is why I use it myself.) However, this feature is available only in the recent versions of Word and isn’t available in older versions such as Microsoft Word 2007.
Simply follow these steps:
- Open the Word file you’d like to convert.
- Click on the Menu option above.
- Click “Save as”.
- Browse the location you want to save your file at.
- Click on the menu next to where it writes “Save as type”.
- Go on “PDF” or type in “PDF” manually.
- Click “Save.”
There you have it! A word file saved as a PDF.
