While it may be difficult to believe, not everyone has Microsoft Word installed on their computer. As a result, you may find yourself in a situation where you send someone a Word file and they reply that they can't open it to view it. One option is to save your Word file as a PDF, and then send the PDF file to whoever needs it. The PDF format is a more extensible file format, and almost everyone has the software required to view a PDF already installed on their computer. And if someone doesn't already have the required software to view it, they can install it for free.
Now let's walk through the steps to save your Microsoft Word file as a PDF so it can more easily be shared with other people.
Step 1. Launch Microsoft Word, and then open the file you want to save as a PDF.
Step 2. Click to select "File" in the menu at the top of the screen. A menu flies in from the left side of the screen.
Step 3. Click "Print" in this menu. The Print window is displayed.
Step 4. Find the Printer section, and then click the drop-down icon next to the default printer. A menu listing available printers will be shown.
Step 5. Click "Microsoft Print to PDF" in this menu. The menu will close and Microsoft Print to PDF will now be shown as your chosen printer.
Step 6. Click "Print." The Save Print Output As dialog box is displayed.
Step 7. Choose the location where you want to save your PDF document, give your PDF file a name, and then click "Save." You'll now see your PDF file in the location where you saved it. Open your PDF file to review it for any formatting errors that may have happened as a result of the conversion from Word to PDF.
