This was a class provided by the Media Center in the BYU Library.

• Use headers in your documents, because it will make life easier.
• Use Word 2007 because it will make your life easier.
• An Equation Builder in Word sometimes makes transferring to a PDF problematic. If this happens, feel free to bring in the document to the Media Center.
• In Word 2003, use Task Pane and Outlining toolbars to get formatting correct.
  

We also went over using PDFs:

• When you make a quick and simple PDF, the headings will automatically nest the different sections within the document. (Wow!)
• To make a new bookmark in the PDF biew, you can just click on the bookmark with the gold star icon in the Bookmarks tab and then you can move it around by holding the mouse and clicking up. You can move it up/down as well as left/right.
• File-->Properties--> set initial view
• To replace a page, use Pages tab. There you can go to options menu to replace a page.
• You can add a link in Word (using Hyperlinks) and it will work in PDFs.
