Jim,

Do you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat?

If so, it comes with Distiller, which will convert the PostScript to
PDF, after which you can just use Acrobat to crop the image, and
then copy and paste into Word.

I do have Adobe Acrobat v7.0.9

Is cropping in Adobe file-size efficient?

Dunno, but I would not crop (out) sensitive material with Word.
Chances are very good it's still there in the file somewhere.


Which brings up an interesting point: Is there a way to purge all this
stuff in MS-Word?


One way would be to copy the text into a plain text editor, make a new
Word document, and paste it back. Then you'd *probably* be safe.

You could also get the plugins so that you could save your document in
standard odt format. Since this is just a renamed zip file containing
the data in xml files, you can open it up and view the raw data in a
text editor.
