Hey Keith,
The FrameMaker files I'm trying to postscript are on ouur network
server, while each of us has our own FrameMaker installation on our platform.
So, I will probably postscript and pdf the fles from the thumd-drive
I brought home or else have another writer do it from his terminal at
the office.
But oneway or the other, I have got to get this FrameMaker glitch
taken care of.
And yes, I can postscript Word files.
