	You need to access the automatic style "PostScript". Go into
Format/Define Styles... and enter "PostScript" (don't include the quotes, of
course, and be sure to use an upper-case 'S' and no space). It will ask if
you wish to use the default; that would be a good thing! Now, any paragraph
you format as PostScript text will be sent to the LW (or whatever) almost
automatically. There are a few interesting things having to do with the
PS environment within Word which you should really check out... see the
reference manual under "PostScript" (pp. 284 ff) and also a couple of
examples which should be in some folder which came with the program. If you
don't bother (or don't have a manual... naughty, naughty!), at least remember
not to include <showpage> in the PostScript code! (Well, unless that's the
point, but it would probably really mess up the rest of your document.)
