Hi :) Is EPS a vector-graphics format that allows you to increase (or decrease) the size of pictures easily without any loss of quality?
If so then converting to the ".svg" format that LibreOffice has just included support for would be a good way to deal with this. There is an OpenSource (and free) program called "Inkscape" that makes it easy to change between vector-graphics formats. However, if you are using EPS so that you can get an easy preview of the picture without having to open the whole thing then there are quite a few developments. First, recently computers became able to preview or even open pictures in many different formats much more easily. Secondly, there are better formats now, such as "png" that are a lot less lossy than "jpg" or "gif". There are even lossless formats such as "tiff". It might be worth contacting the Design mailing list as they have much more accurate knowledge about all this than most of us in here. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design So, you might not need to stick with EPS anymore. It depends on why you were using that format. I hope something here was helpful. If not hopefully someone else might give a better answer soon so don't worry.

I write books containing a lot of EPS images. When I have tried to use OpenOffice I have not been satisfied with the rendition of the inserted EPS images. Is LibreOffice better, or going to be better, than OpenOffice in this respect?
