I cannot tell if this answers my question or not so I will restate my requirement. I believe that I need to create an .eps format file with text and graphics and font information preserved. I have the original document in ms-word 2000 format. I also have it in .pdf format. I am given to understand that the difference between .eps and .ps is the the inclusion of the font info. Is a plain .ps output file sufficent instead because this I can easily accomplish. Regards, -- James B.
