Yes. I use the psfrag package to replace the texts (needs ERT). > Are there any flaws? Yes. If the .eps does not contain the text in "text" form, but in "graphics" form it won't work. If the application is so stupid and does the interletter spacing itself (e.g. it writes an "a", then an "n" and then a "d" with appropriate coordinates instead of just "and", it is a problem, too. > I am thinking of overlapping fonts and so on. This can be a problem if you want to replace "sentences", e.g. more than one word in a row. If you replace just one word, and the size is about right, it is usually no problem. But this all depends on the application that generates the .eps file. Georg
