Here it is.  If you put this into a MSWord document header, it will print
on all pages of a document.  If you put it on a page, it will print on
just that page.  Note that once this is types in, you must select the
entire postscript script, and then go to the Define Styles menu and
type the word "PostScript" in the style box.  (this is a pre-defined
but normally hidden style for word.)
