So I've never had this issue before, but for some reason, my file was not allowing me to save as a PDF. I would do so, the icon would appear on my desktop for a split second and then disappear. I tried saving as a PDF, save as Adobe PDF, mail PDF, etc. but nothing was working. By process of elimination and creating new documents (which DID save as a PDF correctly), it seems that the problem lies within using bullet points. I'm not sure why this is, as I've saved out the same document before as a PDF.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this? I have a file which is my resume that I've used and edited for years and have been able to save it out.

I'm using Word v.X for mac on Mac OS X 10.6.4 on a MacBookPro from Fall 2007.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the exact same problem. Immediately after updating to version 10.6.4.

I think I figured it out. If you go to Font Book and look at the following fonts

• Andale Mono
• Arial
• Arial Black
• Arial Narrow
• Arial Rounded Bold
• Brush Script.ttf
• Comic Sans MS
• Georgia
• Impact
• Tahoma
• Times New Roman
• Trebuchet MS
• Verdana
• Wingdings 2
• Wingdings 3

When Snow Leopard was installed, or from what I understand, it installs new versions of these fonts. If you hover the mouse over the duplicate fonts in Font Book, it tells you what version the font is. Delete the older version of the fonts and restart word. The problem went away for me.

Let me know if this works.
