    I've been pulling my hair out for the past hour trying to do something that would be soooo damn simple if I were talking to someone rather than trying to figure it out on this damn thing.

    I'm trying to get a logo to a supplies company. We copied it onto a Word format. Problem is, I've figured out that it has to be in an EPS file, whatever the hell that means.

    Is this difficult to do? I've no idea.

    And there is no help desk at the company. Otherwise I would bug them about this.

    EPS stands for encapsolated postscript. it's used because the hearder can hold halftone/pantone and other color informantion as well as vectored graphics. the easiest way convert one is to use photoshop and save it as such. first export the image from word and open it from photoshop... or view the image as large as posible then do a screen capture and copy it into photoshop.

    EPS is an image type file, while WOrd is Word Processing. How could you have copied it onto a WORD format? Follow Kyakko's instructions.

    EPS is not an image type. EPS is a page-layout document type (similar to a PDF) and may or may not include images.

    Well, that pdf-convert didn't work, and now I have something new plugged into MS office that will ask me to buy it every few days.

    Did I mention I hate computers?

    To create an eps file, all you have to do is install a postscript printer driver for your system. Then print the word file but instead of printing to a printer, choose print to file. You can go to the following web site for some help.

    I hope this helps. I haven't done this in years so I may be missing some steps.
