atw: Re: Print-ready in Word

If you're able to make a .ps file for the postscript printer used at the
print house, wouldn't you just give that to the printer? Why make a PDF
from the .ps? Well, perhaps to check the settings by printing a rough
version locally. But I suspect Dominic is going the PDF route because he
*doesn't* have the PS driver for the print-house printer.
