Kevin, I just noticed that Deneba claims Canvas 9 will import AI files. So you should be able to export as AI out of Mathematica and then import a very editable graphic into Canvas. That should work MUCH better than trying to edit EPS. (At least that's what I've done for years with Freehand.) ----- Selwyn Hollis http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis On Friday, September 19, 2003, at 03:42 AM, Kevin Gross wrote: > This reply is a little OT, but I'm hoping someone familiar with > Mathematica-generated postscript may be able to shed some light on the > issue. > > I partially cleared up the problem.
