Microsoft Word PDF Creation
Microsoft Word is not a design program. Files sent in Word often have problems with type reflow caused the way that it formats and stores font information. The best solution to avoiding type reflow is to create a PDF out of Word and then send that to us for printing. If your version of Word has trouble with PDF creation, use CutePDF.

Use the following options when exporting word files to PDF:
