(1) It is PostScript, not Post Script or Ps!

(2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.

Hi Dov,
Is there any API to do that programmatically.. I am using c#

The only way you can accomplish this programmatically is to automate the launching of Microsoft Word, the opening of the document in question, and invocation and populating of the print options.

Yes, you must do this via Microsoft Word since the Word document does not contain final layout. Word must do the compositing.
