2 part question about PDF output in RoboHelp 8

I've been able to generate fairly clean-looking PDFs in RoboHelp with the entire Help contents.

My 2 questions are:

1)  Is there a way to generate a Word document from the Help contents?  I notice that when I choose "batch generate" it appears to generate

a Word doc that behaves as a distiller file and then creates a PDF.  Is there a way to generate just a Word document?

2)  If not, is there a way to set the settings within RoboHelp to allow you to edit the text in the generated PDF?

I do not have the full version of Acrobat and can't edit text with Adobe Reader. 

thanks for any feedback!

Rachel

I see it now on the dialog - funny how it is easy to miss a line

sometimes.... this should solve both

of my questions - just have to make sure we're 508 compliant

thanks!
