Converting into Word

Is there a way to export into Word without the text converting into a text box? My documents uses lot of numeric/alpha bullets and each line shows up as an individual text box. When I used the 6.0 it would convert automatically into flowing text without losing formatting.

Hi --

I have a couple of suggestions you can try, although I don't know if either will definitively solve your problem.

First, check if the document is tagged or not in the Acrobat PDFMaker dialog. If you tag the file, a bulleted list is defined as the unordered list container , and each item as a list item . If it isn't tagged, each item is then assigned a separate tag.

I'd also suggest you check your styles. Are you using the same style structure for the files?
