Creating a PDF From a Microsoft Word Document

Creating a PDF file from a Word document is simple. Yet many people are confused by how to accomplish the task. That’s because they’re looking in the wrong place for the option.

It seems logical that one would create a PDF by using the Save or Save As dialog boxes. But in reality, you’ll find the option to create a PDF file in the Print dialog box. This is where most, if not all, PDF creation tools allow you to create a PDF.

To create your PDF, follow these easy steps :

1. Click File
2. Select Print
3. In the Print dialog box, click the drop-down box listing your installed printers
4. Select your PDF creation software on the list (for example, if you’re using Adobe Acrobat, select Adobe PDF)
5. Click OK
   

If you’re using Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat will open once it has created your PDF file.

Change Date Format in Word 2007

Did you give yesterday's Date Picker feature for MS Word 2007 a try?

I know that I really love the idea… especially for templates.

Anyway, as I was working with the Date Picker I noticed, as I'm sure so did you, that the date is formatted in a way that I would rarely use...

12/30/2009

This leads me to wonder how I can change that.

So, as expected, I went searching for an answer.

And… after many failed attempts with right-clicks and whatnot I finally took a good look at the Controls section of the Developer tab of the Ribbon.

There's a Properties button that becomes active when I have the Date Picker selected.
Clicking the Properties button gave me just what I was looking to find… Imagine that?

As you can see in the center area you do have a choice as to how the date is formatted.
Pick one and click OK.
