All you should have to do is remove the "Show Page" command from the end of your
EPSF file, open the file up with Smart Art (a DA), and then click the Reimage
command.  Smart Art then sends the file out to your LW and after a few minutes
of processing (about the time it takes to print) it returns a bitmap image
of your file.  Once the file has been saved, you can then import the file into
PageMaker, PowerPoint, ect. and you will see a screen preview rather than just a
bounding box.  When you print, of course, the underlying PostScript is used, not
the bitmap image.


Hope this helps.
