Hey there.

I'm having a problem with postscript and \includegraphics.  I have been
using the following method to get drawings into my Thesis and it has stopped
working since I reinstalled the OS and printer drivers.

1. I draw the figure in AutoCAD.
2. I export it as a WMF document.
3. I import it into MS Word97.
4. I add comments and annotations using Word's drawing 'feature'.
5. I print the page to a postscript (*.ps) file using a postscript printer
driver.
6. I put the figure into the LaTeX doc using:
\begin{figure}[htb] \begin{center} \includegraphics[bb= 202 487 404
801,clip]{./Figures/figHPSCSchematic.ps}
\caption[blah]{Partial section of the high pressure shear cell}
\label{fig:HPSCSchematic} \end{center} \end{figure}

7. I use dvips to make a postscript version of the LaTeX doc.
dvips -i -S 10 -o outfile.ps -q infile.ps

I can look at the postscript file created in step 5 using GSView and get the
bounding box, but when I try to view the final document I get the following
output:

I used exactly the same procedure for the other 50+ figures in my Thesis and
had no problem prior to reinstalling windows and the printer drivers. Can
anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
