    Well guys I have a small grasp of how to use MS word as I have used it to write all of my college papers, however I need to do something interesting.

    I have a living trust and I need to add something to the schedule A.
    I have the trust saved to my computer in PDF form, I should be able to import it to word and edit the schedule A (list of items the trust owns) correct?

    You are going to need something like Acrobat to be able to edit the file. You might be able to run the file through OCR and then put it into Word.

    Could be wrong but I think you need to OCR, paste to Word, edit, then convert the doc to PDF using the full version of Acrobat.

    I was able to edit the document in "preview" in the same format as what the lawyer sent it to me in.
    Thanks for the help guys, all these different formats are truly a PITA.

    Wit,m just open the PDF and select the text and paste into Word. Should get you most of the way there. Might need to do some formatting.
