Thanks for the net help, I realize how to position pictures correctly. I am using Designer to save tif files and I am including them in winword. Problem: I print on a high-res laser printer (Postscript) and the pictures get printed as a chunky bitmap. What can I do? I would like to be able to include a PS picture file in winword and presto. But this does not work. How can I get high resolution picture output in winword just like the nice font precision I get? /*----------- Thanks in advance... --------------------------------------+ | Peter C.

RTM: And I realize that finding this factiod is a bit hard (thats why I leave out the F). On page 104 of the MS WFW User's Reference is an explaination of the "Print Field". It even has an example of including a postscript image in a document. I don't think it really goes into enough detail (rather typical of the whole book, but then how would MS Press make any money?), so here's my try. You should first save your postscript image to a file in native postscript. Then in WFW insert a "print field" using the Insert-Field command and choosing Print from the list of fields in the dialog box. Make sure you have selected View-Field_Codes. You will then see "{print }" in your document. Place your cursor before the closing curly brace, }, and type the following arguments: \p pic. Now it looks like "{print \p pic }. Again position your cursor before the closing curly brace and type two double quotes. Now place your cursor between the double quotes and do an Insert-File using the native postscript file you saved. You import it as ascii text. I am guessing at the "pic" argument. I think this will create a kind of framed image in the document that you can resize and word will give the printer its demensions so that the image will draw correctly. In addition text in the document can be flowed around it. I could be wrong on this part though. Let me know how it goes. -- Computer Science Center Richard Oppenheimer University of Maryland oppenhei@umd5.umd.edu (office) College Park, Maryland ,USA richard@wam.umd.edu (home) ****** My employer cares not what I think and knows not what I say. ********

Have you installed the EPS-Support macro from EXAMPLES.DOC ? After installing that you should be able to insert and print EPS pictures just like TIFFs. You could also use the { print } field to print PS code. -- _________ Teemu Mottonen | | internet: tmottonen@cc.helsinki.Fi University of Helsinki | | bitnet: TMOTTONEN@FINUH Dept.of Computer Science |_________| decnet: HYLK::TMOTTONEN
