I have a user that has a very simple postscript program that now kinda needs to be included in a ms-word-mac file. I remember clearly that is can be done rather easily. First I sent them off to figure it out, and when they came back, I got stuck 'teaching' them. However, without the manual (yea that's always nice), I dug and dug in the stupid menu's and couldn't find any reference to it either. I suspect it's very easy and stupid, but what can I say, I don't use ms-word to speak of, ... I even tried seemingly random control characters (the bag and sticks approach) to no avail... Can somebody please.... thanks al -- Al. Michielsen, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Syracuse University InterNet: amichiel@rodan.acs.syr.edu amichiel@sunrise.acs.syr.edu Bitnet: AMICHIEL@SUNRISE

Go into Format/Define Styles... and enter "PostScript" (don't include the quotes, of course, and be sure to use an upper-case 'S' and no space). It will ask if you wish to use the default; that would be a good thing! Now, any paragraph you format as PostScript text will be sent to the LW (or whatever) almost automatically. There are a few interesting things having to do with the PS environment within Word which you should really check out... see the reference manual under "PostScript" (pp. 284 ff) and also a couple of examples which should be in some folder which came with the program. If you don't bother (or don't have a manual... naughty, naughty!), at least remember not to include <showpage> in the PostScript code! (Well, unless that's the point, but it would probably really mess up the rest of your document.) Dave Brown (brownd@agnes.acc.stolaf.edu)
