HELP!  I'm trying to print Word 4.0 documents using Unix.
What I did was, in Word after clicking "OK" at the print dialog box
I pressed command-K and created a postscript file.  I then transfered
it over to Unix, running SunOS 4.0.3c, and when I print it all I get
if the actual postscript file, showing all the postscript commands.
(to print it I just used "lpr" )
What's up?  Am I doing something wrong?
Also, I've tried it using command-F instead of command-K and that way
it just starts to work on it and then just forgets about it.
Both times I was printing to a Apple Laser, so I know it can do postsript
files.  Am I doing something wrong?
Please, e-mail responses.
Thanks in advance.....
