Jacqui This is done by choosing your printer driver that supports encapsulated postscript. You then opt to print to file. It is actually the printer driver itself that generates EPS rather than a function of MI which creates BMPs etc. HTH Doug

I followed his recommendation but the only type of file I could print to was a .prn file. Have you heard of MapInfo (or another tool for MI) being able to convert map windows to a .eps file and if so how and is this of any use?
