The short answer is, you don't. :-)

You might try making your PostScript file an encapsulated
PostScript file:

Set_Plot, 'PS'
Device, /Encapsulated

That will allow you to resize it in the software you
are using to write your paper. But you want to write
the Figure caption in your Word (or Framemaker or whatever)
software, NOT in the PS file you create in IDL.

Cheers,

David

P.S. I don't usually try to resize PostScript files in
Framemaker (what I write my papers and book in). I usually
make the file the correct size to begin with, then add the
figure captions as part of a "graphics table" that I have
created in Framemaker.
