Well, I could reduce the problem somewhat by making sure the eps file I am including has a preview in it. I use the following command to get an eps file with a preview: $> epstool -t6p fov.eps fovp.eps Now, I can see the preview image in the place where I inserted the eps file in OOo. That preview image is a low res image. Now OOo does not slow down when I scroll through that page. But ... The problem is, when I export the file to a PDF, I get the same low res picture in the output PDF as well instead of the actual eps file! When I print the OOo file, however, the actual eps (not the low res preview) gets printed. In conclusion, if an eps file with a preview is used in OOo, OOo does not slow down on the page which contains that file but also it retains the low res in the exported PDF file. Printing the document gives the right eps in the output though. ->HS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
