I use Cutepdf writer It installs as a printer, is free, and works well, with no ads/watermark. You do need to install Ghostscript which is a link on the same page.

DoPDF is free. It installs as a printer and “prints” anything to a PDF file. I’ve never had any problems with it.

EDIT: But I’ve never used it with Word. It should work, but I have little-to-no experience with Word.

In most modern OSes you can configure the print system to print to a PDF or PS file instead of sending it to the printer. Isn’t that an option here?

Windows XP doesn’t do that, as far as I know (without additional drivers).

If you have Vista and Office 2007, you can download the capability free from Microsoft. With the add-in all Office products put out PDFs fairly automatically.
