I have to admit, it was a new one on me, too.
In fact, I had to load the file twice, being very
careful the second time that I knew exactly what I
was doing, to convince myself I was seeing what I
thought I was seeing.

It is the first time Microsoft Word has ever done
something on its own that didn't completely piss
me off. :-)

As far as I know, I don't have any special software
installed. I rarely use Word (I *greatly* prefer
Adobe Framemaker for writing documents) and only have
it around to open the odd attachment I get from the
poor suckers who have to put up with it. But I was
pretty impressed with this encapsulated PostScript
filter. Very slick.

Cheers,

David
