Several posters in comp.sys.mac have referred to the capability of MS Word 4.0 to print postscript files inside of a Word document, but I have been unable to get this to work. I am trying to get a postscript graphic into a Word document. The graphic comes from a non-Mac machine (Matlab graph on a Sun 3/50), and the ps file produced included the following comment: % To make this file into an Adobe Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) % file, remove the 'initgraphics', 'erasepage', and 'copypage' commands. My question is, do I want EPS, or do I want to leave it as 'pure' postscript? And could someone please tell me how the heck I put this into my Word document? I don't know much about postscript, and I find the manual for MS Word to be fairly cryptic in its explanation... :-) Thanks in advance, all. -- Tom Robbins | Youth is wasted on the young. robbins@owlnet.rice.edu | - George Bernard Shaw Senior, Chemical Engineering | Life is wasted on the living.

I am trying to incorporate an image created with Page Maker 4.0 into
a Microsoft Word 4.0 document. I can get the image to print correctly,
along with the normal text, but they always show up on different pages.
Playing around with "Print Postscript on top" results in the image printing
but not the text. Deleting the "showpage" from the ENDPAGE def results in
text but no image. Anything else and the image comes out on one page and the
text on the other. This is quite frustrating. I've made it work before,
albeit with a PageMaker 3.0 document, but I can't do it now. Any suggestions
would be most welcome.
