Preserving Hyperlinks from my Word Documents (when exporting to PDF)

How do I ensure that my hyperlinks are preserved when I produce a PDF from Microsoft Word?
 
Recently, my employer updated my computer. Along with all the attendant whiz-bang features I can use now that I've upgraded from 2000 to XP, there are all sorts of little glitches as I ramp my PC back up to its usual productivity. Among those is the fact that where I used to get hyperlinks from my documents, I now cannot. Is there a setting that I can mess with to get this crucial bit of functionality back?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0.5, Windows

Hi ziegleradmin,

In MSWord, under the Adobe PDF menu, make sure that "Add links to Adobe PDF" is checked on the Adobe PDFMaker Settings tab.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your response to my query. However, I cannot find the menu that you speak of. I have no additional menu item that refers to the Adobe PDF options and can't seem to find what you are referring to in the options within the "Print" dialog box (after I choose Adobe PDF). Is there something that I'm missing?

Hi ziegleradmin,

Do you have any menu options to create a PDF in Word? If not, try running the Repair Acrobat Installation command from the Help menu. It sounds as if the PDFMaker macros are not installed for Office.

Hope this helps,
Lori
