need PDF converter. From Word to PDF

I have Microsoft Works 2007 Version 9. I have many written documents as well as spread sheets that I need to attach to emails. Some of the people cannot open these documents but could if they were PDF. One of them has a MAC

I need a reliable method, preferably a free one, that would convert both the documents and spreadsheets to PDF from Word.

I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I could do this safely.

There are several freeware products that install themselves as printer icons (in Devices and Printers); you convert to PDF by "printing" to these printers. CutePDF is one possibility which I personally use.

Installing a free PDF printer driver is one option. I've use CutePDF in the past. More recently I've used Bullzip PDF printer.

I take it the problem here is Works version 9 and not Word 2007?

There are several options, some of which have already been mentioned. Arguably the best is the Open Source PDFCreator which has the advantage (that may not be relevant to you yet) of being programmable from VBA, but I do rather like PrimoPDF.
