[Athen] Question re Acrobat and Word

[Saroj Primlani]

Norm,
Word 7 does not require you to have Acrobat standard or professional.  It
will allow you to save as PDF/XPS document and allows you to set options
for structured document tagged for accessibility.  You can still install
Acrobat and it will also show up in the tool bar and when saving the
document.  In Word 2003 you still need to have Acrobat installed.
