GRAPHICS :
Microsoft Word 5.0 has the ability to import graphic files. It
can bring in many different formats, including:
o HPGL
o TIFF
o PCX
o EPS
o PIC
o EPSF
o WINDOWS CLIPBOARD
Quattro Pro can generate graphic files, which can then be
imported into Microsoft Word, in the following formats:
o Postscript print file
o EPS file
o PCX file (Only Version 2.0 and later)
o PIC file
o HPGL file
The manner in which each format is created is explained below:
EPS
1. Choose /Print|Graph Print|Layout|Orientation. Select
either Portrait or Landscape.
2. Choose Quit|Name. You are prompted for a graph name.
Choose the one you want, and then press ENTER.
3. Choose Write Graph File|EPS File. You are prompted to
give the EPS File a name. Specify a file name, and press
ENTER. Quattro Pro will print the graph to that filename
with a .EPS extension in the directory specified by
/File|Directory unless otherwise specified.
4. Exit Quattro Pro. Enter Microsoft Word and choose the
place within your document where you want the graph.
Press <ESC><Library><Link><Graphics>. You are prompted
for a file name. Enter the name of the file you created
earlier, with the .EPS file extension, and press ENTER.

The graph is inserted into the Word document, in the
orientation you chose in step 1.
NOTE: The EPS file format will not support patterns in Quattro
Pro graphs. All patterns are converted to shades of gray or
colors, depending on the printer.
Postscript
1. Choose /Options|Hardware|Printers. Make sure the Default
Printer (either 1st or 2nd Printer), is set to a
Postscript printer. (eg. Apple Laserwriter, QMS
ColorScript, NEC LC890, etc...)
2. Choose /Print|Graph Print|Layout|Orientation. Select a
graph orientation, either Portrait or Landscape.
3. Choose Quit|Name. You are prompted for a graph name.
Choose one and press ENTER.
4. Choose Destination|File. You are prompted to enter a name
for the file. Once you enter a name, choose Go. Quattro
Pro prints the graph to that name with a .PRN extension in
the directory specified by /File|Directory unless
otherwise specified.
5. Exit Quattro Pro. Enter Microsoft Word and choose the
place within your document where you want the graph.
Press <ESC><Library><Link><Graphics>. Word asks you for a
file name. Give it the name of the file you created
earlier, with the .PRN file extension, and press ENTER.
NOTE: Saving a file using this option will support patterns.

files are stored in Landscape orientation as an industry
standard. Because of this, when you select Portrait, the
graph will actually be in Landscape when imported to
another program. If you choose Landscape, it will appear
in portrait orientation when imported.

graph. Choose one and press ENTER.

Changing /Print|Graph Print|Layout|Orientation to
landscape has no effect.
2. Choose Quit|Name. You are prompted to specify a graph
name. Choose one and press ENTER.
