Step 1. Select the Export Tool
The necessary tool for this operation is located on the toolbar on the right side of the screen. The export tool is a green Adobe document icon with an arrow pointing to the right. Click on it to show additional options.
Step 2. Select the Microsoft Word Export Option
Next, select “Microsoft Word” from the list of export options followed by the Word document option. The second option should give you the most updated document version of Microsoft Word as an output. Keep in mind that there is an abundance of export options for different situations.
Step 3. Choose the Export Location
Next, select the location where the file will be saved.
Step 4. Choose a File Name
Lastly, type the new file name and click on “export.” Note that you also have the choice to change to another type of Microsoft Word file extension at this point. After clicking “export,” Word should open your converted file.
Converting a Word Document Into a PDF
Microsoft has a PDF format built into its “save as” function so documents can be saved directly as a PDF. Start this process by clicking on the “save as” icon at the top of the screen. Next, enter the name that you want to call the file. Also, select a location for the file to be saved at. Next, click on the “file format” drop-down and choose PDF. Two options will appear after doing so. Choose either the option for “electronic file transfer” or for “best printing.” Finally, choose “export,” and your document will save to the location that you selected.
