Next, open the Print menu. Go to the "Printer Options" drop down box.This box will list out all of the printers connected to your computer. Among these options, however, will be an option to print to something called the Microsoft XPS document printer. Select this option.After picking this option, another dialog box will open. In this box, you will need to pick where to save the pdf file. Choosing where to save the file is exactly the same as choosing where to save any other file created in Microsoft Word.Before saving the document, check to make sure that the document is being saved as a pdf. After hitting save, you can treat the file as any other pdf file. Note that unless you have an additional program on your computer, this means that you cannot edit the pdf file.
