Thanks Wilfried, the "print to 'MS Document Image Writer' " method works
great, here's deal...

PRINT TO MS DOCUMENT IMAGE WRITER
I chose 300 dpi TIFF as the output, and printed my one-page Word document to
the image writer.  The resulting filename.tif is extremely sharp.  Oddly,
the filesize is also relatively small (75KB) too, vs. some other tif methods
like using a scanner that came in at 1MB/page).  It does covert to B&W, but
I wanted that anyway, especially since most of what I'm imaging is text
anyway.

I then inserted this snapshot.tif as an image into a Word document.  Then I
made a pdf out of that...and it remained very sharp too.  Other methods fell
apart in the pdf-making process and became slightly grainy with the look of
an old dot-matrix printer.

So this method is great

PRINT TO POSTSCRIPT
Couldn't get this to work, unsure if have right driver.

I do have full Adobe Acrobat installed, and it installs a printer called
"Adobe pdf"...so that's what I chose.

If you select 'print to file'...your only option is filename.prn (not a
graphic image format, I don't think).  If you don't select 'print to file",
then your only option is filename.pdf (by the way, this can later be
converted to a tif inside Acrobat, but it's a roundabout way)

It may be that this is simply the wrong driver to get the direct option of
creating an eps (a graphic format, that could be used immediately), and if
the Apple Color Laserwriter were chosen, then the choices of eps and others
would come up, right?

Anyway,
thanks again, the Image Writer works outstanding
