Recently I purchased a graphics pacage called "Images with Impact!" and I am very pleased with them. However, these pictures are in the EPSF (Encapsulated PostScript) format, and I intend to use them in documents with Microsoft Word (4.0). Word does recognize EPSF format and reads it, but it is unable to display the graphic on the screen, all it does is print it. Do I have to convert the grephics to PICT or similar form (No, I do NOT want bitmaps) ? If so, how do I do it, or is there an utility to do it ? ( There is one called SuperConvert, but all it does is converts from PICT to EI}PSF, not vice versa. Or, is there some other method to include these graphics in MS Word ? Thanks, - Aapo

[User wants to paste EPSF images into Word doc.]
Page 288 of the Microsoft Word 4.0 manual describes how to import EPSF
images into Word docs, which basically opening the postscript code, making
a modification, then copying and pasting into Word. The only problem is
you won't see the picture on the screen.
Another way is to copy the PICT resource of the EPSF file using ResEdit,
then paste into word. Using this method, you will see the image on
screen. However, the PICT image may lack some or all of
the effects, depending on whether there is a PICT equivalent.
