I've got a postscript file on my sun which is a screendump of an X window. As far as I can tell, its a well formed epsf file. I don't want to just paste it into the word file in the postscript style because then I won't be able to have hidden text visible anymore (I could leave hidden text visible, but then I'd have 5 pages of "junk" in the middle of my document). What I'd like to do is somehow paste a combined pict/epsf file like illustrator produces. I.e. on the screen I'd see a quickdraw picture, but printing would use the epsf. Is there any program which will do what I want? Is there another clean way to stick a large postscript graphic in the middle of word file without having to either 1) give up on hidden text or 2) "deal with" a bunch of junk in the middle of the document?

Why don't you try importing the EPS file into Illustrator, then copying the graphic with the option-key, then pasting into your Scrapbook. With Illustrator-generated graphics, this saves the combined QuickDraw/epsf graphic, which can then be pasted into WORD from the Scrapbook. It may work for an EPS graphic that has been imported into Illustrator, as well. I haven't tried this myself with an eps, though! :>)
