Is there any postscript previewer for the Mac?  My problem is that I want to
include postscript in a Word file.  No problem so far - I asked about it
recently, and was told about the PostScript style in Word for including ps.
The problem is that then when I do a page preview in Word, it shows the
actual postscript code - not what the printed text will look like.  This
obviously takes up a different amount of space that the printed output will,
so it's useless for things like writing an article that has to be exactly 4
pages, or arranging figures to be at the top of a page.  A Mac PS previewer
would solve this problem.

A similar problem, by the way, is that page preview shows hidden text, which
also messes up the spacing.
