Hello,

Normaly to convert from PS to EPS you just need to add the %%boundingbox
parameter line at the top and remove the 'showpage' command at the end
of the PS-file. This can be done by a simple Text-Editor !

BTW: Have you tried set plot, 'ps'
device, /encapsulated
...
which should do the job for most(?) export problems.

Another way might be to convert your output to tiff-format, which
is readable by Word (for MAC)

Servus, Helge
