Hi, iam creating a manual and it is a combination of word and powerpoint
files which when printed formthe manual.

I do want however to be able to have one (1) file that contains the
electronic manula. Is this possible when there is mixed file types within the
hard copy?

Cheers
Mike
 
Thanks for the reply.

I would like a little more detail on how to achieve this. I know I can save
a word doc into a PDF via cute PDF writer or do you mean to create the entire
document from the beinning in ADOBE? I have not used adobe other than the
reader or to save as stated above.

I need to have the word document page by page as a manual but some of the
pages are actually a powerpoint which in the hard copy would be printed out
to form the manual. The idea is to have one file that encompassess the whole
manual.

Is this making sense?

Cheers
Mike

It's making sense.

Make the Word doc. Create a PDF from it. Make the PPT doc. Create a PDF
from it. Use a PDF program to merge the two PDFs. You might need a more
powerful program than CutePDF Writer to merge PDFs, I don't know its
capabilities.

Alternative approach--if you need sophisticated table of contents and
page numbering in the manual, then you might choose to convert each PPT
slide into an image, and then insert one image per page into the Word
document, slightly shrunk.
(I don't know how to convert a PPT slide into an image--there might be a
Save As JPG option in PPT itself, or printing to PDF and splitting the
PDF into individual pages could also work, or Word itself might let you
Insert a single-page PPT file as an Object)

PrimoPDF will allow you to create a .pdf file of the Word do and then append
the PowerPoint presentation to that same file.
