I used Designer to create both tif and eps files. Along with each exported eps file is a tif file and a ps file. When I insert the regular tif file in winword, the picture size is very similar to the size I exported. I can stretch it...preview it...and get good results but the *.doc files become huge. When I insert the eps file, the picture is initially smaller, I can stretch it and preview it. BUT, when I print it, a 1/2 page picture is stretched over 2.5 printed pages? I loaded EPS from examples.doc. Where is the distortion coming from? Argh! I RTM and TB, but I am confused! Any ideas? /*----------- Thanks in advance... --------------------------------------+ | Peter C.

Microsoft tech support admits that their handling of EPS files is poor. They promised to send me a new macro for importing EPS, but it hasn't arrived. They did say that W4W needs TIFF info embedded (?) or somehow associated with the EPS file to work properly. I gave up and used CGM or HPGL format.
