I guess thats fair enough as they are looking to clean up the Word interface by removing confusing options, but annoying, if you use the autosummarise function as much as I do.

Anyway, don’t fear, they haven’t removed it altogether. It still exists, you just have to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar yourself.

To do this:

  1. Click the Office Button
  2. Click on Word Options in the bottom right corner of the drop down menu
  3. Select Customize from left hand menu
  4. Change Choose Commands from: drop down to All Commands
  5. Scroll down list and “Add” AutoSummary Tools
  6. Click OK and test tool from Quick Access Toolbar

Here is a screenshot to illustrate -

There you go, that should do it.

Thankfully, this has all changed in Word 2007. If you want to be able to do this however you will have to download an addon from Microsoft.

I don’t know why they just didnt add this feature as part of the original package? Anyway, you can get the addon from here.

Once you have installed it, Save As … > PDF or XPS can be accessed from main menu as seen below.

I have also created a quick video tutorial on YouTube detailing entire process from install to publishing a PDF from a Word Document. Check it out and let me know if you would like to see more Video Tuorials on computing.cc
