Depends on the pdf file.
(The creator of the document can prevent this action.)

When allowed: ctrl-A (=select all)
ctrl-C (copy to clipboard)
Start Word
shift-Ins (paste clipboard content into Word)

Kind regards,

The copy/paste method does not preserve all of the formatting. I would
recommend using a third party program to do the conversion

Did you read the "its got to be very simple" part in the original
question ?

Yes, but for most purposes third party software will work best, and be
fastest
it is easy to select thousands of files, and let it automatically convert
them

You do realize that a PDF is essentially an Adobe-distilled Postscript file?
Essentially, what you are viewing is the rendering of a formatted
printer-language file. And you want to do a "simple" convert of this to a
Microsoft formatted .doc file. So the question becomes, are you trying to do
this programattically, cut-and-paste, or what? As Gerard noted, *if* your
document allows it, you *may* be able to cut and paste some of the elements.
