Mysterious PS & confused

Question

I want to convert a Word doc into PDF.

So, I added a new PS driver and when I print the .doc to file, no PS file is created.

I've removed the driver and reinstalled and even got an Adobe PS driver but all is same. I've re-booted and checked properties of the driver and all is how should be.

I'm running XP SP2, Office 2003 SP1.

I'm flummoxed. Anyone care to shed some light?

So is *any* file produced?

Answer 2

No. No file is produced.

I checked the rw permissions and all is ok.

I've done a full search just in case the file is being dumped elsewhere but not the case.

When you print you should get a dialog asking you to enter the name of the file.

If all else fails use OpenOffice - it works great for producing PDFs.

Answer 4

Thanks. I'm suspecting the usual windows XP gremlins. I'm sure I'll work it out in the end.
I'm downloading OO and hope to have a better product.

Thanks

Answer 5

Thanks. I've downloaded OOffice and installed. It looks great and makes a good change to the usual.

Guess what. My PS issues are exactly the same!!!

Answer 6

I'm running into the same problem (not being able to find the "ps" file after I have "created" it in Word). Did anyone ever figure out another solution?

Thank you.
