= SUMMARY =

Encapsulated PostScript Files Specification (EPS) is a PostScript standard that allows you to create a file with a bitmap image included in the format. EPS files are intended for creating illustrations in word processing and desktop publishing programs.

Microsoft Word version 5.00 accepts EPS files that conform to the Version 2.00 Adobe Document Structuring Conventions. Word’s Print Preview feature can display only bitmaps from an EPS file that are in TIFF file format. Word cannot display EPS commands, only the TIFF file formatted image within the EPS file. Even though Word cannot display a complete EPS file with the Print Preview command, it can correctly print the file.
