How to Get the PDF and XPS Add-Ins for Microsoft Word 2007

Before you can create PDF or XPS files, you must download and install extra components from the Microsoft web site (http://www.microsoft.com). Follow these steps:

1. In Word, click the Office Button, highlight Save As, and then click Find Add-Ins For Other File Formats. Word launches a Word Help window, which displays the Enable Support For Other File Formats, Such As PDF And XPS topic.

2. Click the Install And Use The Publish As PDF Or XPS Add-In From Microsoft link. Word Help displays the page for this topic.

3. Click the Microsoft Save As PDF Or XPS Add-In For 2007 Microsoft Office Programs link. Word Help opens a browser window to the page on the Microsoft web site.

4. Click the Continue button. You will need to install the Office Genuine Advantage component if it’s not already installed on your computer. This component checks that the copy of Office you’re using is legitimate rather than pirated. To install this component on Windows Vista, you must authenticate yourself to User Account Control, and then click the Install button in the Internet Explorer Add-On Installer – Security Warning dialog box, shown here.

5. Once you’ve proved your copy of Office is genuine, click the Download button to download the Save As PDF Or XPS add-in. Click the Run button in the File Download – Security Warning dialog box (shown here). When the download completes, on Windows Vista you must authenticate yourself to User Account Control.

6. Accept the software license if you want to proceed, wait while Windows adds the feature, and then click the OK button in the message box that tells you installation is complete.
