  OK. After all this discussion, I found myself needing a PS dump of a
Word document. Guess what: Microsoft Word 3.02 uses its OWN Laserwriter
dialog, in which cmd-F is trapped in order to toggle a printing option
checkbox! Instead of "Creating PostScript(R) file", I always got a
"Looking for Laserwriter IINT..." dialog. 

  I've used the cmd-F and cmd-K tricks successfully in other applications,
but these used the standard LW print dialog. If anyone knows how to get
it to work within Word 3.02 (or 4.0), please tell us how you did it! I
suspect that the previous posters (as I did) assumed the ps disk dump
worked in Word, without actually having tried it. :-(
