Steps to output a Publisher file as a PostScript file

1. Open the publication you are trying to output as a PostScript file in Microsoft Publisher 2000.
2. On the File menu, click Print.
3. In the Print Setup dialog box, select the PostScript output device you are planning to output this publication to.
   
   NOTE: As mentioned earlier within this article, it would be best to set the PostScript output format field for the PostScript driver you are printing to with PostScript (Optimize for portability - ADSC).
4. Place a check in the Print to File check box.
5. Click OK.
6. A Print to File dialog box will appear, asking for the name and directory in which you would like to save the file to. By default the file be saved with a .prn file extension. You will need to save the file out with a .ps file extension.
   
   Note: The PostScript file is nothing more than a printing language. You will not be able to do much once the file has been exported into a PostScript file format. This is by design.
