Saving a Drawing Object

[Satu]

Can I save a drawing object that I have created with the Word drawing tools
as a postscript or EPS file, or at least in some standard file format that
can be later converted into a postscript or EPS file by Hijaak?

For one approach, see http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm

Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply. The approach you have suggested only saves the image
as a file with a .htm extension. I would like to save the image as a
postscript file for use with other programs. Is that possible?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

No, the image is saved as a .jpg or .gif. Go back and read the article
again.

Hi Cyrus,

You can print a single page of a Word document to a Postscript printer
setting the properties for EPS. Unfortunatlely selecting in the
document just the object won't activate the 'selection' choice
in File=>Print for Word.

You can use the the clipboard to copy the Object, paste it into
a graphics program such as http://www.irfanview.com and then
print as EPS, or your graphic program may have a convert/save/export
to EPS feature in it.
