 Hi,

 I created an eps figure file with matplotlib. I can look at it via mac

 got nothing except for the eps file information. So what's the problem? Here 
 are all the packages I used in the python code. Does any of them impact the 
 creation of the eps file? Thanks.

 import numpy as np
 import sys
 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
 from get_fbin import get_fbin
 from matplotlib import mathtext
 from matplotlib import rc
 from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
 rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']})
 rc('text', usetex=True)

 and I saved the code in this way:

 fig.savefig('pfg1.eps')

I have personally have had problems with eps files in MS PowerPoint,
even from matplotlib.  I don't know if it was the files or PowerPoint.
 Try outputting to PDF format and see if that works better.

Hi,

have you tried to print the EPS without putting it into a DOC? Is
there a specific reason for why you don't use an PNG for that task?
Can Word print EPS at all?

Best,
Daniel

It's a long time since I tried using eps files in Word, but I think it
used to only work if you print to a PostScript printer. Does pdf work
better?
