John,

To the best of my knowledge, in order to create a Word or Powerpoint
document you would need to buy those respective software packages - either
individually or together as "Microsoft Office". It might also be that
Wordperfect can read and write in those formats, but I am not certain.

To create a PDF file, you need the full Adobe Acrobat package. The reader
does not include that functionality (that's why they give it away free).
However, there are some inexpensive alternatives to the Adobe brand package.
I use "pdf995" (http://www.pdf995.com/) which only costs $9.95 and is
downloadable. It may lack some of the bells and whistles of the full Adobe
package but it is pretty darn cheap. It installs as a printer driver, so you
would "print" your RTF document to the PDF995 printer "device" in Windows,
and the output would be a PDF file on your hard drive. I think there is also
a shareware or freeware version of a PDF creator, but I believe that is much
more difficult to install.

Regards,
Tim
