Progress report:
Successful Distiller test, but PDF still had lockup.
I decided to offload Acrobat and re-load it again, per =X='s suggestion, not because of the installation order, but just because I've recently installed a lot of other SW... also, the Acrobat install was a 2-step process of installing an earlier version, then loading the 5.0 upgrade on top of it.
I've tested from the Word icon, and now it's working! I can only assume something I loaded after Word and Acrobat was interfering... possibly my printer driver installation, but I have no way of knowing what.
Thanks for the help and suggestions, everyone!
