No need to have Word, or any other app, incorporate PDF conversion to
output a PDF file. Use any PDF printer emulator you want. ANY app that
has a Print function can output to a .pdf file.


I know that, but as we were all confined to our homes I could not go
there not she here, for me to add whatever was necessary or to explain
the procedure.


I currently use Bullzip PDF Printer, but I've used PDFCreator in the
past. There are lots of PDF printer emulators aka virtual printer
software. Some are listed at:

Good to know.

The new laptop came with a print to PDF printer already defined.

I did not try to see what happens to an URL in such a conversion: is it
clickable in the PDF?
