Regarding EPS and Word:
Jim Mays �crit:Sheesh! Don�t be too greedy. With Word and Finale you have two high end programs that each work on Mac and Windows. It�s not very difficult to do the music bits in Finale and import them into Word. If you aren�t too particular about layout, you might be able to do everything in Finale.
It�s not that difficult to do. I am sure others will chime in with helpful suggestions.
That would be fine, if EPS export worked in Finale, which is not the case. It's been broken for five years now, and there is no hope of seeing it fixed in the near future. If you want to do a "professional" job, TIFF graphics won't do, so there's no easy way to get decent graphics out of Finale and into Word. Unless you use a Mac. Or Sibelius instead of Finale.
Hi folks.
Just to reiterate what Dennis is saying, EPS works fine in 2005 on Mac with Word. The screen graphics are not so good, but the print-out is fine. PDFs made from the completed Word files are also good on Mac - even the screen graphics are not bad when you read the PDF in Preview. My Finale tutorial files were made this way.
For tests, lesson plans, exercises and the like, I use Finale for both text and music. It isn't difficult to do and looks great.
