 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY
To merge PostScript instructions into a Microsoft Word for the Macintosh document using the Print Merge command, insert the PostScript command(s) into your print merge data document. If a command is more than one line in length, enclose the entire command in double quotation marks (for example, &quot;PostScript command&quot;) to prevent each line from being seen as a separate data record.

In the main document, do the following:

 Insert the field name. Select the field name.  In Word versions 5.0 and 4.0, hold down the SHIFT key while clicking the down arrow next to the Style box on the ribbon, and select PostScript. In Word 3.x, hold down the SHIFT key and choose Styles from the Format menu. Select PostScript and click the OK button. 

When Print Merge is chosen from the File menu, the PostScript command(s) is merged into the main document, and the PostScript style is applied to it.

MORE INFORMATION
If you're using Word 5.0 or 4.0, you can also merge PostScript commands into the header or footer of a document. In a multiple-page (single section) document, the PostScript command would then be applied to all the pages.

For more information about these topics in Word version 5.0, see the sections on print merges (pages 583-655) and PostScript (Appendix G) in the &quot;Microsoft Word User's Guide.&quot;

For more information about these topics in Word version 4.0, see the sections on form letters (pages 69-91), mailing labels (pages 170-181), and PostScript (pages 284-288) in the &quot;Reference to Microsoft Word.&quot;

For more information about these topics in Word version 3.x, see the sections on form letters (pages 64-92), mailing labels (pages 187-196), and PostScript (pages 279-284) in the &quot;Reference to Microsoft Word.&quot;
