Hi Sean,
I don't get eps-files into word, either. The thing is that in some cases =
it
works best to import eps to Corel 5 (!) and save it as wmf or corel file
and then import it to word. In corel there are two ways to import eps - a=
s
"postscript interpreted" and "eps placeable"; the latter does not work fo=
r
the mathematica eps stuff and seems to be the one implemented in the word=
filter.
Thanks for your info,
Peter

A report on saving graphics files in Mma 3.0.1.
There is a feature I hadn't noticed in 3.0.0. Select a graphic and
right click on it. A menu appears. One of the options is "save object
as". A few file formats appear. Those applicable to graphics are
bitmap, windows metafile, adobe illustrator, eps and enhanced metafile.
After selecting the type of file, you choose a name and the file is
saved.
The bitmap and wmf work flawlessly on 2-D graphics, even with greek
characters and rotated text. They have the same resolution and aliasing
problems as with any bitmap-type format. The eps format generates
heart-stopping error messages in Paint Shop Pro and Corel Photo Paint
like "system error, cannot read from c: drive, if it is a network drive,
contact your network administrator" and "There is a serious file error
in ...." and "file appears to be corrupt". I don't own Adobe
Illustrator so I couldn't check it out. The enhanced metafile is not
recognized as a valid file type by any program I have.
There have been some comments posted about people trying to import eps
files into MS Word. I tried that with a file created in PaintShop Pro
and it just displayed a text header and a box. Perhaps someone could
tell me how or where to get the filters necessary to import eps files
into Word and I can report back on how well Mma's eps files are
accepted.
