If you are using MS Office Version > 2003, then I'd suggest XPS Writer. It's MS's built in plugin. Search for your version and download. It's more handy than all these 3rd party software.

thank you for suggession , but i prefer .pdf output over xps [many PC in our office NW dont have win 7(native xps support) or ms office installed)

Tested xps , it was quick ( less than 10 seconds )

still Wondering why 19MB word was converted to 500+ MB pdf


thank you all

Do you have Ghostscript installed? Try BullZip PDF printer, which would install ghostscript by default.
