how to restore the Adobe PDF icon in MS Word?

[jak glass]

I use MS Word 2002. The PDF icon that is normally on the toolbar has disappeared. How do I reinstall the Adobe PDF icon? Clicking the icon is quicker than selecting PDF through the PRINT.

My system: Pentium III XP os

Was the PDF icon a "plug-in" that you added to the tool bar?? Or, is the icon on integral part of Word (i.e., it exists in the Word software when you installed)??

If it is part and parcel with Word then you might want to check and see if there's a repair option with the software, or just remove in ADD/REMOVE and reinstall...

You haven't just hidden a special/customised toolbar by mistake have you? Check View Menu and see which Toolbars have been enabled.

There's stuff about Acrobat, Distiller and PDF Maker HERE (http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/28006.htm) - so presumably you have one or all of these installed.

No. Missing from View too. Forgot to mention that the icon went missing after an error message appeared when I open the Word application. The popup box mentioned something about pdf error...did not read carefully...just clicked ok. :(
