This is my first time posting so excuse me if I screwed this up. Anyway, does anyone have some advice on how I can take postscript output from Microsoft Word 5.0 and upload it to a unix system. I have tried it with some small text files but our printers don't seem to understand the postscript as I just get blank pages. The files start out with %PS-Adobe-2.0 and we have Adobe 1.0 postscript if that makes any difference. Any help is appreciated and please excuse my ignorance on the subject.

You need to copy up the POSTSCRP.INI file as a prolog to the output
from Microsoft Word. You will also need to remove the ^D at the
end of the .INI file before combining it with the output of Word.
