Hi all.

Word 2000 (XP home). Is there an easy way to bring in a pdf file to a Word
document (or convert one) so that all the text formatting is preserved?

TIA
 
Another way: Insert > Object > Create From File, check the Display as Icon
box, then browse to the location of your PDF file and select it. This will
insert the PDF as an attachment to your doc, and show an icon which, when
clicked, will open the attachment in a PDF reader window (assuming the target
system has a reader installed).
 
Thanks.

Can you recommend one particular converter that is free of charge and has no
bugs/viruses?
 
Sorry, aalaan, I can't give you a recommendation. I played with a couple a
few years ago on a test machine, decided that copying and pasting was
probably just as effective for what I needed, and gave up.

You might try http://www.download.com/. I've generally found the editor's
reviews there to be useful in sorting out the wheat from the chaff.

You don't need a 'converter' to insert a PDF file as an object (bearing in
mind that objects cannot span pages). You need Acrobat Reader version 7.

If you want to *edit* the PDF document, you need OCR software and the type
that does a decent job will not be free - Finereader 8 would be my choice.
