After the considerable success that I had with my last request in this
newsgroup I thought that I might pick your brains once again! We are
using a graphics package called UNIRAS that allows one to output files
in Postscript format. I would very much like to include these graphics
in a Microsoft Word 4.0 document. I would be very grateful if someone
could provide me with a step by step guide for doing this. I have
attempted to follow the instructions in the manual but these seem
distinctly brief and I have so far met with little success. I have
included a typical output file from UNIRAS below. This should simply
draw a grey rectangle.....
Thanks once again!

We do this by generating an EPS file with UNIRAS. I refer to lots of other postings for the definition of the format of an EPS file. When you transfer this plain ascii text file to the Mac, you can readily import it to luxurious applications like PageMaker, Freehand etc. There is a DA called SmartArt (I, II or III) from Emerald City Software that can "reimage" this EPS file: The PostScript code is sent to your LaserWriter, which returns the bitmap to your Mac. With a simple copy and paste, you can then import the graphic to e.g. MS word. When printing, the bitmap is ignored, and the PostScript code is used to generate the full resolution image on paper. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with MacDraw. But then again, MacDraw is incompatible with almost everything!

Select all the Postscript text 3.) While holding down the SHIFT key, open the FORMAT menu and select ALL STYLES. 4.) Select Postscript from the dialog box 5.) Print document
