[comp.sys.mac.apps] generating postcript output file from MS-WORD4?

louboutn@ccvax.ucd.ie (Sylvain Louboutin, University College Dublin) (05/09/91)

I apologise in advance if this question has been asked many times before...

How do you generate a postcript output file from MS-WORD4?  In the documentation
I found a lot of things about how to include existing postcript files in a WORD
document,  but nothing about generating postcript output.  It should be
possible,  for instance by redirecting the printing output to a file,  but how
do I do that? 

thanks in advance,

Following a previous posting, I was able to generate a Postcript
file (or so I thought).  There was a just a slight problem though -
the file wouldn't print.  I tried to print using SendPS on the Mac
and using laser printers on a Sun.  Each time the error message
was about a bad command in the postscript file.

The steps that I followed on the Mac were:
1.  Disabled background printing through the Chooser.
2.  Held command-F immediately after selecting Ok in the Print
dialog box.  This generated a file called Postscript0.

Am I using an old version of a file?  Thanks in advance.
