Ok, Eitan Gurari replied to my email and here's the promised follow-up: first some interesting news (?) about eps in oolatex: <eitan>The current version of tex4ht (http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/bugfixes.html) should load the eps pictures into the sxw files without conversions, so for such files the G-scripts in tex4ht.env are not relevant. If the conversion to DOC doesn't support EPS I would argue that the problem is with the conversion utility as OpenOffice seems to be satisfied with such files. </eitan> "current" here refers to April/May 2005 I guess. Afai understand the non-bugfix distribution of February doesn't do that, or at least otherwise I cannot make sense of the documentation. With respect to my eps-from-latex-to-doc-via-sxw/openoffice-problem he's right, it's an openoffice bug if they don't convert the embedded eps-images correctly. Nevertheless he apparently added a user option as a workaround: <eitan>I modified the bugfixes distribution of tex4ht to allow the user to override the default setting through an instruction of the form \Configure{graphics*} {eps} {}. In such a case, the G-script of the tex4ht.env will be applied to the eps files. </eitan> Now this apparently means a post May-29th-2005 distribution. I'm still a tex4ht-newbie, but it seems to me that in order to use this \Configure-thing you must either include it in the latex source file, or you load a config-file which however means you cannot use the "oolatex"-shortcut. (I'd love to be corrected on this one.) Finally he explained how to choose between the g-scripts in tex4ht.env, which may have been obvious to others, but not to me: <eitan> there are two options: <convert>...</convert> and <netpbm>...</netpbm>. The first one is chosen because the <convert> tag and </convert> end tag are preceded by spaces. If the spaces are placed instead before <netpbm> and </netpbm> then the second option will take over. </eitan> Hope this is of value for somebody, sven
