Including Windows printer output in Word documents
Subject:Including Windows printer output in Word documents From:Tom Hansen <tomh -at- EXECPC -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 1 Jan 1997 02:02:49 -0600
I decided to post this here, because I really don't know where else to
go with this.
I have a Windows application which produces printed reports. I would
like to be able to include samples of this output in a MS Word document.
I have tried using a PostScript printer driver, and setting it to
"create EPS file". However, Word will not recognize the generated
output as a valid EPS file.
Worse, if the output is more than a page, the printer driver complains
that it can't create a "multi-page EPS file", and doesn't output
anything at all.
I would really like to be able to do this without resorting to physical
cut and paste! (scissors & glue stick)
Is there anyone out there that can shed some light on this situation??
