on my Mac at home I can insert PDF from the Insert menu, just as I could a
jpeg or gif. Is there a version of Word for PC that I can upgrade to where I
can insert the PDF in the same way?

Thanks.

If you have Acrobat Reader version 7 installed, you can insert a one page
PDF as an object. As objects cannot span pages, multiple page PDFs only
display the first page. There is no converter to allow Word to read PDFs.

Is there a version of Word for PC that has a way to insert a PDF rather than
as a whole page, as a PDF picture on the page?

The only way to insert PDFs is as I have already described. An alternative
approach would be to use SnagIt to grab the PDF and to output it to another
graphics format.
