No, sorry. I did one for Word 2004, set up a PDF printer, switch to it, tell Word to print the document--and it's a nightmare in terms of reliability.
After a while, Word stops opening documents--so I changed it to quit & relaunch Word once in a while. After a longer while, Word corrupts its preferences file and will no longer launch--so I changed it to replace the preferences file with a fresh copy before launching Word. After a while Word borks up something in the OS so badly that it won't launch until you reboot.
I'm going to try with 2011, and hope it works better--but I'm not optimistic. They've had 25 years to work on this product, and it's still incredibly buggy ;-)
