Seems like using EPS (encapsulated postscript) would be the most straightforward way to import graphcs into Word (and many other problems) with a minimum of hassle. However, you may end up having to generate a preview image of the EPS file to get the document to print properly on a non-Postscript printer, which defeats the purpose! -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Email: dek@cgl.ucsf.edu David Konerding WWW: http://picasso.ucsf.edu/~dek -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snail: Graduate Group in Biophysics Medical Sciences 926, Box 0446 University of California San Francisco, CA 94143
