Mathematica doesn't have the ability to display arbitrary an EPS vector image. If you insert and EPS file into a Mathematica notebook the raw EPS data will be sent to a PostScript printer when you print (with the default settings), and if you're on Mac OS X a preview of the EPS will appear in the notebook. If a preview is not sufficient for your presentation needs you could try converting the EPS to PDF then importing the PDF in Mathematica. -Rob
