= SUMMARY =

Gamma Script is a program that allows you to create a word processor file on the computer screen, print it to a file in PostScript format, and send that file to a fax board. To prevent the error message “Not a Valid PostScript File,” use the following method:

  Create the document.   Set the Print Options “printer:” field (Word 5.00) or File Printer Setup Printer File (Word 5.50) to POSTSCRP.PRD, then print your document to a file by choosing Print File (Word 5.00) or File Print (Word 5.50).   The POSTSCRP.INI initialization file must now be appended to the recently printed PostScript file by typing the following in the Library Run field (Word 5.00) or the File DOS Commands text box (Word 5.50): COPY POSTSCRP.INI+.DOC .DOC. This procedure creates one file that comprises the initialization file and the file you want to send with Gamma Script. Gamma Script will now accept the file. 

Microsoft has not tested Gamma Script with Word version 5.50 and therefore cannot guarantee its results.
