Hi,

I have a chance to get MS Publisher 2007 at a greatly reduced cost, but someone whose expertise is very much appreciated (hi, rlhanson! ) told me that it adds a lot of excess coding. That's not a good thing when it comes to creating ebooks (which is primarily what I wanted it for.) It also seemed pretty cool that Publisher can be used to design web sites too - though not if it adds a lot of unwanted code, and in any case I'm trying to learn HTML.

Can anyone suggest a less cluttered way of converting .doc, .txt, or .rtf files to PDF without the expense of Acrobat?

Thanks in advance,

vb
