Hello Jean-Pierre,

Thanks for responding to my question. I agree that postscript files are the best solution, but we have concern that it will cause problems for clients recieving email that might have difficulty obtaining Acrobat reader since it is not native to Window98. So a utility to convert postscript files to MS Word would help solve that problem since they could always use Wordpad to read the attachment.

>>Is there such a utility that can take postscript files generated by a report form to file and convert it into a MS Word document? The need is to send VFP reports as email attachments. I know that postscript files can be converted to an Adobe PDF file, but the concern is that the Adobe reader is not native to the Win98 operating system and as such some users might have difficulties in obtaining it. Another option would be to convert VFP reports to RFT format - anything that could be read by the native Win98 operating system.
