I make my figures mostly with MS powerpoint and then print them to a .ps file using the adobe postscript printer (using the "archive format" option) and then convert them to eps with ghostview to make a boundingbox Note that you have to set the powerpoint pagelayout to A4 (or Letter) and portrait and you have to place the figure at the top of the page, otherwise the figure overlaps teh text above your figure in the resulting dvi. This method works also with other windows programs which have a print option. The quality with powerpoint looks like normal vector quality to me. Gr Robert
