Dear reader of this message,

my problem is, that I have to use MS-WORD 5.0 (German version) to
print out some bigger texts (because every attempt to convert the
Word-5.0 documents to WinWord or Pagemaker failed so far -
the texts simply didn't have _exactly_ the same layout as before).

No problem so far - there is a PostScript printer driver for
Word-5.0. But I must produce _mirrored_ output!


* Do you know of a Postscript printer driver for MS-Word-5.0,
  that is able to mirror?

* Or do you know an easy way of postprocessing the output of the
  normal PS-printer driver, to mirrow the printings?
  Is a simple '-1 1 trans' inserted in the produced PS-code at the
  right location enough and where is the right location?


If you can help me, please don't hesitate to write me. I am also
pleased with hints about other people, news groups, ftp archives,
or databases, that could be helpful.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!
