Question:

Solutions:

• On the cheap you can use Ghostscript/Ghostview to look at the .PS file, then convert it to a .EPS file. Ghostview is a shareware program, the downside is that the unregistered version doesn't save a preview on the .EPS, so you just have this object you can't see in your word/wordperfect document. You can't edit it, but it seems to print OK. So if all you want to do is put it there, then you're set.
  
  
• Here is a recent thread from the Users List Archive on this topic. Several tools and scripts are suggested.
  Converting metafiles to EPS
  
  
• Some commercial software that we are aware of:
  
  
• A filter program called "Transverter Pro" by TechPool Software, that addresses the differing flavors of PostScript files.
  
  
• Adobe  Illustrator; users have found that the output of that program is acceptable for word processing.
  
  
• Another option is to use Adobe Acrobat Distiller  (Not free either, but seems to be cheaper than either Illustrator, Freehand or Transverter.  Possibly just available with Adobe PageMaker or other packages).  Distiller lets you convert the file to a .PDF document which can be inserted into a word/worperfect document just fine.
