Re: reading EPS and TIFF files in Word 5 under Executor 1.2.1
Actually, in reading that last message, I realized that the actual
'how to' instructions were left to the imagination. Try this:
Take the PICT & EPS files to a Mac.
(We use ftp; the PICT is binary while the EPS is text).
Open, say, MS Word and Insert the PICT so that you can see it.
(Choose "All Files" so you can see the PICT.)
In Word, select the PICT image and copy it to the clipboard.
(Select it alone, such that you get the resize handles.)
Open the EPS file in ResEdit and request a new resource.
(Resource: Create New resource, choose or type "PICT")
IGNORE THE DEFAULT RESOURCE NUMBER, for now.
Paste the image into the PICT window (should be on top).
Get Info on the PICT resource (Resource: Get Resource Info).
Change the resource number to 256.
Save (there should be only one resource, by the way).
Go back to MS Word and Insert the EPS; should show the image.
