GRAPHICS :
Microsoft Word 5.0 has the ability to import graphic files. It
can bring in many different formats, including:
o HPGL
o TIFF
o PCX
o EPS
o PIC
o EPSF
o WINDOWS CLIPBOARD
Quattro Pro can generate graphic files, which can then be
imported into Microsoft Word, in the following formats:
o Postscript print file
o EPS file
o PCX file (Only Version 2.0 and later)
o PIC file
o HPGL file
The manner in which each format is created is explained below:
EPS
1. Choose /Print|Graph Print|Layout|Orientation. Select
either Portrait or Landscape.
2. Choose Quit|Name. You are prompted for a graph name.
Choose the one you want, and then press ENTER.
3. Choose Write Graph File|EPS File. You are prompted to
give the EPS File a name. Specify a file name, and press
ENTER. Quattro Pro will print the graph to that filename
with a .EPS extension in the directory specified by
/File|Directory unless otherwise specified.
4. Exit Quattro Pro. Enter Microsoft Word and choose the
place within your document where you want the graph.
Press <ESC><Library><Link><Graphics>. You are prompted

Pro graphs. All patterns are converted to shades of gray or
colors, depending on the printer.
Postscript

graph orientation, either Portrait or Landscape.
3. Choose Quit|Name. You are prompted for a graph name.

the directory specified by /File|Directory unless
otherwise specified.
