I've also tried tagging cells and exporting equations as high resolution (360 dpi) TIFFs but I find PICT gives better results with less hassles. ...notwithstanding that the font no longer is courier when I print my word document to *.pdf due to this frustrating "no MC font present" error message that occurs in acrobat exchange. > > Note that simple copy by "Ctrl V" or "Edit -- Paste" does not work well. > By the way, why don't you make your notebook files directly into pdf files, > instead of Word to PDF?
