Thanks - no more help required
There were 6 main solutions on offer and these can be summarised thus
1) "Cut and paste" you great luddite
2) Use "Save as rich text" and then import to Word you half-luddite
3) Use Adobe 5 (We have adobe 4)
4) Use Omnipage as this can do it
5) Yes I have this problem also"
6) It can't be done
I must admit that I normally do 1 or 2 but this did not happen with the pdf I
was sent.
The technical explanation, given to me is that if a pdf is generated by a
document which is scanned in then you can't cut and paste as in 1. If the pdf
is generated by a DTP program, then you can.
This explains why some documents are more accessible than others
