A friend who has a business had many documents created originally in PageMaker 6 on a Mac. Yesterday I volunteered to turn them into PDF's as I still have a G4 with OS 9.2.2, PageMaker 6.5 and the Distiller to create PDFs. As I didn't have all the fonts which the person used originally substitutes were used. A little formatting was lost but not much and all the little graphics were placed properly.

After doing that, today she told me that her current computer 'expert' only uses Word on Windows and wants me to turn the PDFs into Word documents. I don't have the slightest Idea how to go about that. Copy and paste keeps the text but loses the graphics. Any suggestions? I have MS Office on both Mac and PC. I don't own Acrobat or InDesign as I'm generally a graphic artist (Photoshop, Illustrator, and lots of 3D apps.)

Thanks for any suggestions (including "forget it!").
