Convert Word 2000 To Pdf Stopped Working In Windows 10

I've been able to print a Word 2000 document to a PDF by choosing File>Print and selecting "Microsoft Print to PDF". This has worked for the last several months, but today when I try it, it doesn't print anything. It does create a link to the PDF in C:\Users.... but when I click that link, nothing happens.

The last time I used Word 2000 to print to a PDF was a week or so ago. Since then something has changed, but I don't know what. Can somebody please help me out here? Thanks in advance!

 

I was surprised when I read that Office 2000 is not compatible with Windows 10, but that it can be installed anyway. So I installed it. And it works. Mostly. Some things (like inserting fields in the footer) will give me a dialog box but clicking the options in that dialog box does nothing. There are a few other things that don't work.

Yes, I was surprised about the Microsoft Print to PDF all of a sudden not working. I thought that I'd used it before but I could be mistaken. Anyway, I did find a way around it. For others wanting to know:

1. Save the Word or Excel document as a web page (html).
2. Open the html and adjust the width of the webpage so that it will print on an 8-inch-wide paper.
3. Select File>Print>Microsoft Print to PDF and go for it.

So far it works, but I'm sure that I didn't have to do that a couple of weeks ago... From Excel I printed several pages to PDF without problems. Boy do I hate Bill Gates futzing around and updating Win10 without my knowledge... that's most likely what happened this time.

 

You could install a PDF printer that will allow you to print any file to PDF.
Bullzip PDF Printer is free.
