Hi Al,

I'm asking because the page numbering is *not* being carried over.  It is
correctly showing roman numerals in the Word doc footers (in my preface
sections) and arabic numbers in the subsequent sections.  But in the
resultant PDF doc, everything is numbered 1-N, Arabic, for the entire doc. 
(And I mean the PDF page numbering, not the display of the page, which of
course correctly shows the roman numerals in the preface sections.)  So
perhaps there's a setting that I've missed in Word or its PDF Maker?

Time for a simple (minded?) question here -- In Word (2003) I use the
"Adobe PDF" menu to manage the PDF process.  Is that using regular Acrobat
or the PDFMaker Plug-in?  I assume the regular Acrobat because I can select
Change Conversion Settings, and then choose from my list of joboptions
files.

But I haven't found how to set default page view properties, page numbering
properties, or bookmark collapse settings within a joboptions file; is that
possible?

In Word 2007, there's an Acrobat tab on the ribbon, which contains a
Preferences button, which when clicked brings me to the same dialog box
where I can choose from my list of joboptions files.  So identical
situation here as in Word 2003.

TIA,
-Monique
