I have followed the directions in the Word 4.0 manual on how to print postscript code/file by typing/importing the code/file and the applying the PostScript style to the code. This makes the postscript code hidden text. I then print the file with "print hidden text" on from the print dialog. However, the printer still prints the code as text rather than treating the text as Postscript code. Is this some kind of major bug, or am I doing something wrong. You can read pg 284-288 of the User Guide. --Charles clee@csli.stanford.edu

You can read pg 284-288 of the User Guide. If in doubt it's not a bug: when you say "print hidden text" it will in fact print said hidden text. If you want the postscript code to be interpreted and executed but not printed then "print hidden text" should be off. Andreas J. Guelzow <guelzow@ccu.umanitoba.ca>

This will cause Word to print the postscript code instead of acting upon it as postscript code. Disable it and it will print as you desire.

Make sure you are using the style PostScript exactly as I typed, Postscript will not work. Select the whole document with Option-Command-M before choosing the PostScript style. Make sure the Print Hidden Text is NOT checked. Printing PostScript does work but it takes a little experimenting to get the setup correct. Mike Cherry cherry@frodo.mgh.harvard.edu
