I have used ps2pdf to create nice pdf files that the M$ user can 
utilize.  Too bad there is not a utility that I know of that will 
convert post script to either rtf or word .doc format.

One of the things that I do not like about sending and word processor 
document over the net is you don't really know what fonts the receipent 
is able to use.  Also if they have additional fonts in their font 
directory even standard fonts can come out ugly.  I think the font is 
called as an enumerated item in the font directory.  This is the way 
that Word Perfect handled fonts.
