A big thanks to everyone that gave advice. I figured out how it is done. I created my
document
in kword and printed to a file (no idea why that didn't dawn on my....brain dead). I
then used
ps2pdf to create the pdf file....and it displays correctly. Thanks again, you saved me
from
having to use that windows stuff!!
