PostScript in PRINT field yeilds error

O

The error occurs whenever the PRINT field is the first thing in the document
(or header or footer), and when printing to a PCL (non-postscript) printer.

Yes, I know that PostScript code won't execute on non-PS printers--but I'd
like the document, if printed via PCL, to be error-free. (Which it is,
except when the PRINT field is the very first thing.) I can't control what
printers every document may be printed on.

The error takes the form of alphanumeric characters overprinting the page,
either at the very bottom of the page or at the approximate vertical
location of the (otherwise invisible) PRINT field.

The characters, which may be related to the actual PS code in the field, are
spread horizontally across the page in no recognizable order. They overprint
each other and anything else on the page.

Has anyone else ever encountered this? Any ideas what to do? I'd rather not
have to include a space or en space before this field--even if reduced in
size and condensed it still would deform the line slightly.

I am running Word 97, if that matters.

Thanks for any advice!
