The ability of Word 2013 to read a PDF and then, at least on simpler 
documents, quite a good job of converting the text into a Word document 
has been very useful to me. Too often, even copying a single sentence 
from a PDF in Adobe Reader results in messed up text with broken 
words/lines, odd extra characters, etc.
