Have you had a look at PDF995 (http://www.pdf995.com/), this may do what you want.

Cheers, Babe.

- Install the driver for a printer that uses postscript. eg Apple Laserwriter. You can tell if it uses a file called postscript.drv (or similar).
- In word, print to the postscript printer and choose "print to file".

Or, get it to PDF format and use "pdf2ps" or "pdftops", which are available on most linux systems, and hopefully whatever flavour you're using.

Or, I think Openoffice can export to PS.
