- Therein lies your problem. APS or a2ps or enscript or similar are
- programs designed to convert ASCII documents to Postscript. When you
- print from Word 5.1 under executor, I wouldn't be surprised to learn you
- told it all about your postscript printer, so it is printing postscript
- code, which APS thinks is an ASCII document and tries to translate into
- Postscript. So, you get a few pages of courier-font Postscript code, instead
- of your document...
