A good friend of mine has the following setup and can't get anything
to work correctly:

AT&T PC6300, MicroPro's WordStar, an HP LaserJet Series II with Z cartridge.

He would like to print text in Helvetica font as available on the Z cart.
The drivers that ar delivered with WordStar don't seem to be adequate to
do this.  MicroPro has been something short of helpful in this matter.
I have offered him the following solution:
   Trash WordStart and get Microsoft Word (4.0);  COnvert existing
   documents to Word using a conversion program (Something Bridge its 
   called).
He doesn't mind doing this but has some investment in time/training
on WordStar. 

Here are my questions:
   (1)  Is there anyway that WordStar can get those fonts?
   (2)  Will Word get the Z Cart fonts correctly?
   (3)  Does someone know the name of the program that converts these
	formats?
   (4)  Does someone sell/have/PD driver for WordStar that will get at
	the Helvetica Font?


Thanx for any help and mail me the response, unless it is of general
interest to the net.
