I noticed this line in Mr. Monsarrat's article. My experience has been
only with MSWord, which using the print dialog box, can be asked to
output PS format. Unfortunately, I have also noticed that when I ask
MSWord to produce PS files, it bitmaps *the entire document*. IMO, that
bites the big one. Has anyone else experienced this? Does MacWrite
give not bitmapped PS output? Any help appreciated.

As a side note, I have noticed that MSWord 5.0's Equation editor
*always* produces PS information. Kind of handy for those
technical presentations I do in PS.

Thanks for any info,
gReg
