Re: Inserting EPS file in Word 2003 - no preview

EPS files need to be created with a TIFF (or WMF) preview/thumbnail as a
part of their content in order for Word to be able to display them

Not true - Word 2003 "interprets" EPS files (sometimes incorrectly) and
converts them into wmf on import. Personally, I prefer the old way (which
was less fallible) whereby Word just put a placeable header and then
produced the image upon printing to a postscript printer.

However I agree that there is no preview available in the dialog box during
the insertion process if there is no thumbnail. I very seldom produce EPS
files with thumnails because the thumbnail bit of the files us often bigger
than the actual information (assuming it is a vector based figure).
