RE: How do I get my spool files into MS-Word?

You can use Operations Navigator to access the spool files under Basic
Operations/Printers. Clicking on the outq that contains the spool file gives
a display of all spool files in the outq. Right-click on the spool file you
need and drag-and-drop it to your desktop. 

The conversion to ASCII is done automatically and you can then create the
e-mail and attach the document from your desktop. If you no longer need the
ASCII file, just delete it, but if you need to keep it move it to a folder
on a local or network drive so that your desktop does not get cluttered. 

It's a quick and simple way to handle this chore.
