I didn't see anybody mention this, but then I didn't read every word of every response (I've been away for the past 5 days):

EPS are postscript graphics -- they'll print fine on postscript printers but on non-postscript printers they'll only print as the embedded screen-resolution TIFF graphic.

I thought your problems were all among people printing your Word files on PS printers, or I would have suggested this as the reason for the discrepancy before.

PDFs are designed to print fine on all printers, which is why using Adobe Distiller to create a PDF file worked.

Sorry if this just regurgitates somebody else's response.

Hi all,

Apparently, this EPS issue is an MS Word problem, not Finale, or the OS, or EPS in general. A friend here processed the file in Adobe Distiller, and the resulting pdf looks fine. People with PS printers were able to print from Word without a problem, but others got rasterized graphics. This method seems to work for showing rough drafts. Whoever does the layout later in the process will surely use a page layout application that will handle the graphics correctly.

Thanks for all the input.

Chuck
