Well, sometimes I've had a problem like this.  It's usually caused by
copy protection.

So, how do you get around it?  Well, here's how I do it.

I try hard to get a direct link to our vax (I'm lucky.  Failing this, a
second computer with a serial port works fine. . .) and set up the word
processor to print to my serial port.  Thus, I "send" the file to the
vax as straight ASCII.  Unfortunately, with todays "wonderful"
font-laden programs, this can cause big problems.
