Hello,
Regarding...
"2)Open Acrobat Distiller (Distiller's sole
purpose in life is to convert postscript files to pdf's) and set the job options
so that there's no
compresson on your image. It will creat a pdf which
you can view with the free Adobe Acrobat viewer or open up in
photoshop."
Aladdin's GSView (you need to have Ghostscript also) will also
convert postscript files to pdf and it is free; it will also convert ps to
eps. More information about it can be found at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.

???
The problem with the "save window as" option is that it saves
at screen
resoltuion so you're probably getting a 72 pixel/inch
image.
I had an awful time creating eps files from MI as well so I
resorted to this
tried but true method. It does however require a
couple of other pieces of
software-Adobe Acrobat Distiller and Photoshop,
as well as Adobe's
Postscript print driver (I think they're up to v4.3 now,
it's available on
the Adobe software discs usually or their
website).
Here's how we do it...
1) Print your layout to file using
the postscript driver with the output
format set to "postscript (optimize
for speed)" and when it asks where to
put the file, give it a name and set
the extension to ".ps" (as opposed to
it's default ".prn")
2)Open
Acrobat Distiller (Distiller's sole purpose in life is to
convert
postscript files to pdf's) and set the job options so that there's
no
compresson on your image. It will creat a pdf which you can view
with the
free Adobe Acrobat viewer or open up in photoshop.
3) Open
the pdf file with Photoshop. It'll ask you what resolution you
want
to open it at (I usually do it 300 pix/inch) and after it's open, save
a
copy as a tiff file.
4)Quark should handle that tiff fine and
it'll appear at 300 p/i. You can
also save the file as a bitmap and
Word should handle that well.
Good Luck!
