Hello all, I just posted the following to our internal NIWA newgroup
but thought it might be of wider interest...
Do you have an application (like IDL) that generates graphs in EPS format?
Do you want to import them into MS Word or Powerpoint and have them appear
on the screen as something other than boxes with inscrutable lettering?
Well there's a product called ImageStream 97 for Microsoft
Office--basically
a set of import filters to replace the standard Microsoft ones--that will
allow you to import EPS files into a form that can be viewed on the screen,
edited with the application's drawing tools & printed to non-Postscript
printers as well as Postscript ones.
I discovered ImageStream when I was preparing to give a seminar this week.
I managed to import a large number of EPS files generated by IDL into
Powerpoint and display them on the screen without cluttering up the
Powerpoint file with enormous bitmaps. It worked very well, although there
may be a minor problem relating to the Postscript code that gets stored in
the file--I'm looking into it.
ImageStream 97, despite its name, is compatible with all recent versions
of MS Office (I used it with Office 95). See http://www.inso.com/
