I'm sure this question's been answered before, but as I can't seem to find any info in the manual -- how can one import an EPS file (in this case, from Illustrator), into Word 4.0? I have been able to include straight PostScript text in a document, and define it so it will be interpreted and print correctly, but what I'd really like is to see the bitmap on screen while the PS code prints. My efforts result in a bitmap, nothing more. There should be a way to do this, right? Or should I stop fiddling and get my update to WordPerfect 2.0? (Should it ever appear...)

I have never tried to do this, relying on PageMaker for this sort of thing. It should at least provide a box on screen to show the size of the image. > Or should I stop fiddling and get my update to WordPerfect 2.0? >(Should it ever appear...) Ugh. Why? Take a look at Nisus if you want an alternative to Word. WordPerfect is ugly!

When you have the illustration on the screen in Illustrator, select all elements, hold down on the option key and copy the image. This, in addition to putting the PICT information on the clipboard, the corresponding Postscript information is also included. Then, simply exit from Illustrator, open the Word file and paste. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jeffrey A.
