    Lisa Marya,

    If you cannot do it through Word, I am afraid you will have to do it in Acrobat.

    If you have Acrobat, you may use File>Print>Acrobat Distiller, then select Properties>Adobe PDF Settings, then Edit Conversion Settings and select Acrobat 4.0 (PDF 1.3). Or something like that in your version.

    Thank-you for your help. I'm dismayed that I'd have to buy Acrobat, despite having paid a monthly sub.

    But I'll leave this forum!

    Before you send anything to Lulu, you might want to read THIS.

    P.S. I am not trying to sell you on anything, and I represent no other company. I am just passing along a warning from a friend who feels she was (and is) getting ripped off by them.

    Many thanks for your help.
