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.
