:"Rich Text Format" or RTF is a "standard" :-) format for formatted text. 
:Both MS-Word and WordPerfect (and every other WP package worth it's salt) 
:can read and write this format. 
:
:So from MS-Word select "Save As" and choose "RTF" for the type of file. RTF 
:files consist of ASCII text so you should be able to email this OK. 
:
:I don't know of a PostScript to RTF converter, but if it exists I am sure 
:it's from Adobe so ask them. 

No such thing as a "postscript to rtf" utility. Never will be. Postscript
can do about 10,000 more things than rtf. All rtf does is change a word
precessor's "native" formatting codes to a microsloth defined set of plain
ascii characters.
