the degradation in image quality in word is remarkable, i just did
what you suggested and don't think there is any way this could be
better than the 1200 ppi tiffs.
i generated a PDF of an image from graphic converter to PDF and
printed that (to paper); inserted the PDF at 100% in a word doc

Hi Jef,
What version of Word are you using? I remember Office 2004 for Mac being
particularly bad about image quality.
Anyway, Apple's Pages application will import your existing Word file (and even
save in Word format, if that's important), and also allow you to place PDFs
without any image
I always print to Adobe pdf printer driver (include fonts), open in
Acrobat, crop, save as EPS, import into Word. It shows as rough tif
preview graphic on screen but prints fine.
yes this works fantastic! and the print quality is excellent (even
though the PDF i generated from finale is 150

aha! bingo. 11.2 (2004)

so i think your solution is the best i have come across, but it just seems
stupid that
FIN-PDF-EPS-MS gets higher quality and better functionality than
FIN-EPS-MS.
You are right, of course, but for years nothing at all worked so I am still
thrilled there is a way!
Hi Jef,
Pages is a really excellent app. I use it exclusively and the Word
import/export does the trick (for my purposes, at least).

Darcy,
I've just changed over to Pages. I am still feeling my way around it, but so
far love the PDF import for examples. My problem is what to do with examples
that take up a whole page, or several pages. Should I import them one page at a
time? They won't be pushed forward a page if I ever
Since the discussion has veered off into discussion of piccolos, octave
transpositions and ledger lines, I thought I'd share a nugget about piccolo
and flute writing. All those ledger lines are tough to read, at least for
the rest of us mortals who don't play flute or picc. But they're used to

My own practice is to use the 8va sign in scores when necessary, but to
restore the part to its proper octave when extracting.
And that just makes good sense. And save space

Another pet peeve

Hi Chris,
Pages has options to control whether images (even large, full-page images) are
in-line and move with the text (in which case they *will* be pushed forward),
or are attached to the page. Basically, if you want it to be in-line, make sure
there's a flashing insertion point before you

I do remember that bug. Oddly, the workaround was to insert way more measures
than you need - like 30 or more. Once it doesn't crash you can safely delete
the extra bars.

Yes. My solution is to copy and paste the entire work a bar later, erase the
redundant bar 1, and fill with content as needed.
I don't know why it happens. It is inconsistent. I assumed it was file
corruption.
