The "insert EPS file" functionality in Word 2007 seems to have been updated
from previous releases, and isn't displaying or printing the content of some
encapsulated postscript (eps) files properly.

The attached eps file, when inserted into Word 2007 (click on Insert tab,
click on Picture), displays and prints with a gap in the blue line on the
left-hand side of the plot. This gap is not present in Word 2003 or in other
postscript viewers such as ghostview. I've also seen instances where the
printed page just displays a message indicating a syntax error and doesn't
print the picture at all.

I've tried searching the Microsoft web site but haven't been able to find
anything about this kind of issue. Has anyone come across this and/or know if
there are any options available to control how the .eps files are imported?

Thanks in advance.

I'd still appreciate hearing suggestions on this.

Thanks

Hi Rich,

With the EPS file you posted I get the same gap in both Word 2003 and Word 2007 when using Insert=>Picture, but not in other
viewers, such as http://irfanview.com There can be variations based on which EPSImp32.FLT Office Graphic Filter version is in use.
With the filter Word generally does not use a preview picture (if any) stored in the EPS file, but renders from its own. I didn't
see anything on a quick look at the Postscript code of the MatLab generated graph.

Do you also get the gap when printing?

Bob,

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

I do get the gap when printing from MS Word, but not when printing from other
apps (ghostview, Adobe Illustrator)

I searched my hard drive and found the graphics filters in C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\GRPHFLT. The eps filter is dated
08/23/2007 and the version properties tab shows (among other properties)
File Version: 2006.1200.6211.1000
Product Version: 2006.1200.6211.1000
Product Name: 2007 Microsoft Office System
That appears to be the latest one that Office ships with

I've found the workaround.

I have 2003 Office
There is a file which is responsible for filtering EPS while inserting it into Word document:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\GRPHFLT\EPSIMP32.FLT

The version I had was dated to ?2003? .

I've replaced it with another version dated 2007 and I can see all imported EPS images now!

Here is a link to this(working) filter on my DropBox

I've found the workaround.

I have 2003 Office
There is a file which is responsible for filtering EPS while inserting it into Word document:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\GRPHFLT\EPSIMP32.FLT

The version I had was dated to ?2003? .

I've replaced it with another version dated 2007 and I can see all imported EPS images now!

Here is a link to this(working) filter on my DropBox
