Yes, but I work in Unix. Right now, I create the EPS files under Solaris
and then read them into Word. I do not mind the empty boxes, but I do
hate Word (among a million other reasons) when the inserted 'picture'
is moved to heaven knows where because I decided to add a comma
somewhere in the text. When there are no captions attached to the
figures, divining which empty box is which is pretty much impossible.
For this reason alone I would like a preview, however bad. Where can
I find a way to doing this? I do not want to create a PDF to the Word
document every two minutes to rearrange it, only to have side effects
..... arrrgh!

I had a quick look. Couldn't find what I needed. Could someone
please give the Ghostscript command for making a preview?

thanks
