-I was that "someone", and it _is_ true, provided you are using version 6.0 of
-the LaserWriter drivers (which I believe came with 32-bit color QuickDraw).

That's what I was missing! I picked up a new driver & prep from my
dealer today, and Word now prints nice greyscale text on my Laserwriter.
Thanks very much for this tip (and thanks to the many people sent me mail).
