I am unsure at this point if OOWriter with macros can put this on standard out..., it saves the coverted file to /path/to/my/file.doc, is there a way to get the %i %o functionality of typerules so that I can deal with the files that are created?  I am unsure of exactly how this works.

If you use HylaFAX+ 5.2.1 (or any semi-recent HylaFAX+ release, for that 
matter) you use MIMEConverters in the fashion described by the example I 
give here:

http://groups.google.com/group/fa.hylafax/msg/831111de218ded81

... except of course you'll do it for application/msword instead of 
text/html.

If the macro cannot produce the Postscript output on standard output 
then you'll need to add a command or two to make it do that (such as 
pdf2ps in this case).

Thanks,

Lee.
