FILE FORMATS
PostScript Format
Preparing PostScript Files
- LATEX
- Running LATEX produces a DVI file which can be converted into
PostScript using dvips filename.dvi
- MS Word
- In File|Print select a PostScript printer and check the box
Print to file, then type an appropriate filename.ps
(use extension .ps).
You may need to install a PostScript printer on your computer. Do this by

It is suggested that you add a standard HP Laser Jet PS Printer Driver.
