- Thanks to everybody who replied 1st time around, however, despite all
- suggestions, I still can't get EPS files from Draw into MSword5 on a
- Macintosh.
-
- I have tried the following:
- 1) Draw a simple box in "Draw"
- 2) Using the "GenericPS", or "Apple Laserwriter" RiscOS3 printer
- drivers, create a file containing the postscript "hardcopy". This claims to
- be EPSF-1.2, just as output from Macintosh applications is.
- 3) Save two versions of the file to MS-DOS disc on A5000 under RiscOS3.1
- i) As is
- ii) Load in "Edit", do "CR<->LF", save as second file
- 4) Dismount MS-DOS disc from Arc
- 5) Load Disc into Mac.
- 6) Attempt to load EPS file into MSWord5 or Freehand => FAILURE.
- (Although the files print direct from Arc to an Apple laswerwriter
- ok)
-
- This has me completely stumped.
- Any help, as ever, gratefully received (via e-mail preferably)...
- Thanks,
- ARH.
