You are mixing two different things here: Adobe Reader has the Export function under Tools, Adobe Acrobat does not have this because you do have that function built into Acrobat. Select "File>Save as Other>MS Word" and then the type of file you want to save to. This will create a Word file right from within Acrobat.
