I am preparing a set of lecture notes in which a complex
diagram needs to appear several times in one chapter.
The diagram was created in Mathematica and saved as an EPS
file - about 450kb in size.

I know that Word5 will import the EPS code (this works quite
well) and I've even managed to get it to appear in a picture
frame which can be moved about in page-preview mode, but....
as there are 4 occurences of this picture in the document - each
consisting of 450kb worth of hidden postscript code - the doc
is unmanageably slow to manipulate on my MacII (9Mb, Sys7.x)

Question>>>

Can I have Word import the EPS code from another file from
within each picture, so that only one 450kb copy needs to
be kept?

ie something like this:

....."Figure 1 follows:  <<read PS code from filename.EPS >>
	    Fig1 picture frame here (PS code starts with .pic. )
      lots of text
      Figure 2 follows  <<read PS code from same filename.EPS>>
	    Fig2 picture frame here 
      lots of text
      Figure 3 follows etc.

I suppose this is a type of Publish/Perish (sorry, Subscribe) function?
I sure hope Word5 can do this because scrolling through the 1.6Mb
chapter is *really* painful!
