17774 2001-08-29 02:26:00 Hi,
I'm hoping someone can shed light on what probely is an easy solution but I havent not through lack of trying figured it out yet. I have Illustrator9 (Graphic Design Software) and have experimented in a couple of logo designs. My problem is, how do I import those designs, which I have saved as IllustratorEPS when I have finished my work. If I wanted to use the designed logo in MSPublisher or MS Word
or the like it wont accept it surely I can use the logo in other software applications other than Illustrator and Photoshop, would I have to burn the logo on a cd first for it to work? Any help would be valued as this is driving me insane PLEASE!!!

17776 2001-08-29 05:12:00 THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!! You have saved the day and made my last 48 hours of racking my brains worthwhile, maybe if I used a little commonsence in the first place I wouldnt be here!!!! When I saved my logo I only had three options to save to which JPG and BMP etc etc wasn't included so I clicked on Export under file tab and Walaaaa the options of what you suggested were right in front of me, and yes I tryed it and yes there it appeared not the quality I was hoping for but alas it was there, so a BIG thankyou for taking the time to help.

Although Postscript is complex, it is also very powerful and flexible, which is why many high-end graphics apps use it. EPS in turn is a is used to describe graphics files, for export and importing to and from programs.

Many programs can't display Postscript directly, so there's often a low-resolution preview included in the EPS file. That way, you'll get at least some idea what the image will look like.
