Curtis: EPS files is a generic name for many different "formats" of EPS files. Illustrator is one such format of EPS. EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is part of the larger PostScript page description language that a lot of printers have built-in. PostScript is basically a programming language which has the main purpose of describing pages, but being a "programming language" everyone has their own technique in solving a problem or doing a task. That is pat of the reason why PageStream cannot read ALL EPS files and display them like PageStream's Illustrator import module. So, in order for you to get your EPS graphics to work, they need to be in one of the Illustrator or ArtExpression EPS formats, or you need a PostScript printer. PageStream cannot read (interpret) all EPS formats. I hope this hasn't confused you. Where on the Missouri do you live? Mark @ Soft-Logik Publishing (Typing from sunny St. Louis).
