Hello! Problem: How to move graphics from Wingz (v. 1.1) to PageMaker (4.2)? We've tried to do this for a while. PageMaker cannot read Wingz files, so the next solution was to try to copy and paste. Result: loss in resolution (which was excepted) AND also loss of some patterns in diagrams (which was not). Our solution was to use a separate program to do the graphics and save them in EPS format. We used GraphMaster, but I was told that DeltaGraph would do the trick, too. Annoying part, of course, was to do the same job twice: first draw the charts in Wingz, and afterwards in GraphMaster - especially because GM did not offer any other additional nice features. The only major difference seemed to be GM's ability to export graphics better. What I would like to know is this: is there any spreadsheet program that can save graphics in EPS? Wingz 1.1 can't, but I've been told that Wingz 2.0 can (lemme see...they said it'd be out by the end of this year...umm...that'll be like, say, by May, perhaps :-). I'm pretty sure Excel 4.0 can't. I don't know about 123. Any ideas? How about printing the graphs from Wingz to a PS file with SYS 7 LaserWriter drivers? Would it work? Any and all information is appreciated. Use e-mail or post here, I read CSM newsgroups regularly. -- Juha Juha Hemminki k20315@kyyppari.hkkk.fi OR hemminki@karl.hkkk.fi ----- THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK -----
