Word for Windows has the capability built in. Just change your Windows
setup ... select Control Panel -> Printers. Select "Postscript Printer
on FILE" and install. Then every time you attempt to print a Word document,
a dialog box opens asking you to enter a file name. The output will be pure
Postscript.

My PC does not talk to a laser printer, so I use this method to save my
documents, then copy them to a Sun server and print them on the Postscript
printer from there.
