Hi, thanks for interesting Linux/windows inter-operability tricks. I wonder if there is easier path.

More Debian than windows in > there, you might notice. I wonder if you can print your data directly to printer from the windows application in question. If it is yes to this question, you should be able to create a PS file as an output file of printing operation using print-to-file option and printer driver such as ones for apple laser printers. Once you print to a file using PS file format in windows, you can move to a Linux box and do your trick with EPS. No Word/OpenOffice are needed in this approach. Even if you can not print from the original windows application in question, you can print PS file from MSWord. That makes 1 less step (No large OpenOffice to start). Just my 2 cents. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki @ Cupertino CA USA, GPG-key: A8061F32 .''`.
