OS = Windows XP Pro SP2
APPl = MS Office 2003 Pro SP3
In more than one instance, I installed Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro on a PC with Office 2003 Pro Sp3 and suddenly Word would get an error on startup and want to Recover and then open in safe mode. The solution I was given was to rename the Normal.dot and then reopen Word to recreate it. This fixed the problem but the menu buttons such as to Convert to PDF are gone.

Is there a way to prevent Word from breaking when installing Acrobat 7.0 Pro and is there a way to get the menu buttons back?

Thanks in advance for your help.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0, Windows

MS Word must be installed before Acrobat in order for Acrobat to install the conversion buttons in Word.

Read this articles for more information.

PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office application with Acrobat (7, 8, 3D, and 3D 8 on Windows)

Thanks for replying.

MS Word was installed prior to installing Acrobat 7.0 Pro, but my question is, why does it break Word in MS Office 2003 Pro and does not affect Word in MS Office Std?
