Getting eps into Word documents.

on 10/3/2005 3:31 PM Rolf Turner said the following:

[...] Does anyone know a
satisfactory solution to the problem of including a graphic which
exists in the form of a *.eps (encapsulated postscript) file into a
Word document.  If so, would you be willing to share it with me and
my student?

 

Recent versions of Word import EPS quite well.  I just tried it with 
Word 2003 (also known as Word 11), and the figure was imported 
properly.  Word added a preview all by itself.

To do this, I opened an Explorer (directory) window on the directory 
with the files, then dragged the EPS file to Word.  I am certain it can 
also be done through the menu system.

I then converted an EPS file's line endings to *ix format and repeated 
the above.  It still worked fine.
