i don't know if anyone can help. . . i am trying to get Excel graphic files
that have been saved in Word into Quark Express, and at a high enough
resolution to print from (ie 300dpi). the word files have .MCM suffix or
something smillar. Anyhow thats it sounds easy . . .it probably is!

You don't say if they are saved in Word Mac or PC?

MacLink Plus 9.0 (part of OS 8) should convert from Word PC to Word Mac if you
have it or to Claris Works; then use a further enhancement using Graphic
Converter or similar to a useable form for Quark, you might need EPS to PICT
or EPS converter but I think they're for Quark to Photoshop.

EPS to PICT and suchlike are only useful if the pictures are saved as
Encapsulated PostScript files.  I'm not sure this is usual in anything
except Illustrator.

EASY !

Print the relevant Excel or Word graphic pages TO A FILE using 
Laserwriter 8.X, select EPS as the format for the saved file and embed any 
fonts which are used which are NOT standard Laserwriter fonts.  Once you 
have the EPS, you can import it into Quark, Pagemaker or even Illustrator 
and because its EPS it will resize to any size with no Jaggies and print at 
any resolution.

This is of course only true if the graphics were Vector drawn originally 
and NOT imported bitmaps.
