I am hoping someone can assist me.  My group has recently
inherited some MAC users into our SUN/UNIX platform.  I am
not a MAC user nor do I know very much about the software.
My question:

Can a WORD file be converted to a Postscript file?  

I recently loaded a FAXmodem software program that allows our
SUN workstations to send/receive faxes.  The program has
some utilities that allow Postscript files to be formatted to
enable the program to fax/mail them.  We have an ELAN
product, "eroff", for example in which we can use the "-p"
option to convert a an eroff file to Postscript, e.g.,
"eroff -mm -m filename > filename.ps".  The "filename.ps"
can then be faxed.

Our new MAC users have files in WORD that need to be faxed.
I need the files converted to Postscript and then the files
can be mailed to me and I can process them for faxing. : )
