[comp.sys.mac.misc] Word - Postscript - to - disk

weinhous@dinorah.wustl.edu (Martin S. Weinhous) (07/08/90)

I would like to
(1)  do text and picture preparation on a Mac (using Microsoft Word
     4.00B, Mac System 6.0.5, and LaserWriter 6.0.1),
(2)  and write the resulting Postscript file to the Mac's disk.

Item 2 is giving me fits! I've hacked the LaserWriter driver
to include a "Print to Disk" box and get a file labeled Postscript0.
This file seems to have some Apple specific stuff in the beginning
which I don't want.  I've tried to get rid of the Apple specific stuff
by using command-K when printing from Word (this is supposed to direct
output to disk rather than to LaserWriter -- and do so without the
header). All I've managed to do is incrementally kill another tree
(waste paper).

Can anyone offer suggestions as to how I can get the postscript without
the Apple specific stuff? (I need this so that the document can be
displayed on the screen of a Silicon Graphics workstation.)

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to get a Word 4 to make a postscript file also as I want to
print it on an apple laserwriter hooked up to an Appollo net.

Do I have to get rid of the apple specific stuff also.

Help
