WPS isn't PS (PostScript)--it's an MS Works file. To make a PS file from a
document (any document in Windows, I think, not just Word files) you don't
"save" but "print" - and tell it to print to a file. (On my computer the
default extension for that is .prn .. just change it to .ps) If you have it
set up to print in postscript (which is generally standard) you'll have a
usable file. I've done it before, making PDF files from Word documents
through the Net Distiller page.
