how to paste PDF file into word

[Sachi Noma]

I use Word 2002. Can someone tell me how I can paste PDF files into my Word
document? Thank you.

Not sure I understand, but your Reader will let you copy either text or
graphics to the clipboard; then just Paste into Word?

G'Day Sachi,

You have two options:

1. For a few small documents, see the Microsoft article for this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290927

2. Search Google for "PDF to Word".
You will find several commercial converters (yes - you pay!).
I use (and can recommend) ScanSoft PDF Converter v2,
but there are several good ones.

Try opening your PDF file then look for the button on the tool bar that
looks like a capital "I" and is marked "select." (It might be labeled
something like "text.")

1. Click on that bad boy.

2. Then hit Ctrl-A to select all the text and then copy it to the
clipboard.

3. Say a prayer to favorite deity of your choosing.

4. Paste in Word document.

5. Issue press release.

Be sure to check that you got everything. My document I experimented on had
attachments that were not selected and copied in this manner.
