   No, that will save only the text, not the actual printer output, or input
rather. I think Barry means to have a print file waiting on the disk so it can
be printed later or taken to another machine. If I'm wrong, forget it.
   The only way to save a print file with Word 5.0 (or any other version for
that matter) is to use a spool utility such as SuperLaserSpool and have
background printing on "pause".
