Several posters in comp.sys.mac have referred to the capability of MS Word 4.0 to print postscript files inside of a Word document, but I have been unable to get this to work. I am trying to get a postscript graphic into a Word document. The graphic comes from a non-Mac machine (Matlab graph on a Sun 3/50), and the ps file produced included the following comment: % To make this file into an Adobe Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) % file, remove the 'initgraphics', 'erasepage', and 'copypage' commands. My question is, do I want EPS, or do I want to leave it as 'pure' postscript? And could someone please tell me how the heck I put this into my Word document? I don't know much about postscript, and I find the manual for MS Word to be fairly cryptic in its explanation... :-) Thanks in advance, all. -- Tom Robbins | Youth is wasted on the young. robbins@owlnet.rice.edu | - George Bernard Shaw Senior, Chemical Engineering | Life is wasted on the living.
