    I have a 70 page document to be printed.  The complication is that
    it needs to be printed in two forms:  First, it must be printable
    on our local laser printer.  This is no problem since WP supplies a
    printer driver for our printer.  I just print the file to the disk and
    users who have this printer can snarf it and print it in the usual ways.
    
    Other users, however, have a variety of dot-matrix printers.  To provide
    the document in a form that ALL of them can use, I need to print a file to
    disk that is plain, vanilla DOS text.  Moreover, it is important to
    preserve the basic format of the document (e.g., page numbering, table of
    contents, index, and glossary).  The different fonts and bolded/italicized
    words are not vital.
    
    Text In/Out does not work, nor does convert.exe work.  These two
    techniques do not generate page breaks except for hard <CR> and, since it
    is not a print file, no page numbers, headers, etc., are generated.
    
    Can this be done?  Print a formatted WP document as simple DOS text?
