Problem with inserted image in Header (Word 2004 for Mac, version11.2)

[davec]

Hello John,

The logo must come to you in EPS or you won't be able to use it for anything
useful. EPS is the professional standard for vector art.

All right, I've got the EPS message you and others have kindly sent.
Something isn't clear to me, though. It's a matter of practical usage.

Here's what I may want to do: The printing service, as I mentioned,
will send me a copy of the logo as an EPS file. So, it's comfortably
nestled on my hard drive. Now, the time comes when I will want to
create a document of some sort in Word 2004 and will want to decorate
this doc by appending the EPS logo. Am I correct that it'll work fine?
It may not look too good on my screen, but will print perfectly well
and should transmit acceptably as an email attachment. Have I got it
right?

Thanks to you all,

Dave

Hi Dave:

Yes, you have it exactly correct.

However, it is IMPORTANT that you TELL the printing service that you intend
to use your logo in Mac Word.

They have to use particular settings when they make the EPS for it to work
properly in Mac Word. You need to tell them in advance, so that they do

Cheers

I've downloaded the Pro version. And am looking at it one feature I sort
of like if I could get it work like I wanted is take an image that id
defined by a square box and clicking on a design (oval) and it
automatically changes the shape to an oval. but it doesn't fill in the
color with yellow and the map of Va defined inside of it is clipped off
on each side.

I use GraphConverter, and Fireworks.

AS I deal with Websites. I'd like an easy way to make Logo's with
possible use of Drop Shadows. I've used denaba's Canvas in the past
although I haven't purchased the OSX version.

OmniGrafle is not what most people mean by "graph" . If you had used
it, like Beth and I have, you would know that its name has more to do
with graph theory and the relationships between objects and their
interconnections than it has to do with illustrating y=x^2 and its
mates.

While OmniGraffle is little help in editing raster images, it is
marvellous for laying them out among other images.

For vector art, and PDF objects, it is often better than many purpose
built products, such as Illustrator or Freehand, although each of those
have their strengths.

The free trial is quite good fun Phillip. It is well worth a hour or
two of play.

(OmniGraffle so help me in a Word group!)
That's easy Phillip. Use the style»image inspector (cmd-4) You can
drop, scale and crop, rotate and fade the image in there. You probably
want to eliminate the stroke of the shape you are filling to make the
shadow look good.

Of course those North Western Omniweasels might be objecting to the Va
