You can send PostScript programming strings to your printer by inserting PRINT fields in the document text. Microsoft Word sends the commands to the printer as native PostScript codes. PostScript commands embedded (embed: To insert information created in one program, such as a chart or an equation, into another program. After the object is embedded, the information becomes part of the document. Any changes you make to the object are reflected in the document.) in your document are carried out in the order in which you insert them. Use the following syntax:

{ PRINT \p Group "Codes" }

The y-coordinate space used for PostScript commands in Word is the same as for normal PostScript. The graphics origin (0,0) is in the lower-left corner of the page, and the positive directions are up and to the right. PostScript drawing instructions take place within a drawing rectangle. The graphics origin is translated to the lower-left corner of the drawing rectangle.

 Note   To print PostScript over text, click the Options command on the Tools menu, click the Print tab, and then select the Print PostScript over text check box.
