Summary:

To use the encapsulated PostScript (EPS) filter, EPSIMP.FLT, supplied with Word for Windows versions 1.1a or later, if you are upgrading from a previous version of Word, you must delete the previously installed EPS macro. The EPS macro installed in earlier Word for Windows versions modifies the FilePrint and InsertPicture macros.

To verify that the macro was installed, follow the steps below:

Word for Windows versions 1.00 or 1.10

 * 1) From the Macro menu, choose Edit.
 * 2) Do NOT select Show All.

If FilePrint and InsertPicture are displayed, the macro was installed.

To remove the EPS macro, follow these steps:


 * 1) Copy the NORMAL.DOT file to a new template and name it EPS.DOT.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Open and open the template file NORMAL.DOT.
 * 3) From the Macro menu, choose Edit. Verify Show All is NOT selected.
 * 4) Individually select the FilePrint and InsertPicture macros and delete them.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Close.

Word for Windows versions 2.00 or 2.00a

 * 1) Choose Macro from the Tools menu.
 * 2) Make sure that Global is selected in the Show box.

If FilePrint and InsertPicture are displayed, the macro was installed.

To remove the EPS macro, follow these steps:

  Select each macro and choose the Delete button (Alt-D).   Choose the Close button (Alt-C).   Choose Save All from the File menu.   Choose Yes when prompted to “Save global, glossary and command changes?” 

More Information:

To print existing files containing EPS images that were imported using the old EPS macro, you must first re-insert the picture.

Note: If the FilePrint and InsertPicture macros do not appear in the NORMAL.DOT file with Show All NOT selected, the EPS macro was not installed.
