= SUMMARY =

To import a graphics file from Microsoft’s EasyCAD program, the file must first be saved in EasyCAD as an HPGL graphics file. Once saved in this format, the file can be imported into Word using the Library Link command.

To save a file in HPGL format in EasyCAD, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Load the desired file into EasyCAD.
 * 2) Plot the drawing to a file with EasyCAD’s Sizeable Graphic Image option for the file format. This will save the file in HPGL format with an .HPG extension.
 * 3) Go into Word, position the cursor where the graphic image is to appear, and choose Library Link Graphics.
 * 4) Type in the full pathname and filename of the EasyCAD file in the Library Link Graphics “filename:” field and choose HPGL in the Library Link Graphics “file format:” field.
 * 5) The file should now be linked and should be visible in Print Preview.
