I am using Microsoft Word 5.0 and am trying to import several types
of graphics into my documents.  These include encapsulated postscript
files from graphics and drawing programs, and spreadsheet graphs from
Quattro Pro.

I am also printing to a file on disk rather than directly to my laser
printer, which is a DEC LN03R.  I do this because the LN03R is hanging
off my microVAX, and I run PCSA to allow printing from the PC, by using
the "net print file.ext port" command.

The two problems are as follows.  First, when I use the Library Link
Graphics command in MS Word, I get the typical response and a line in
the document describing the imported graphic.  When I print this to
disk using the Print File command, no error messages occur.  When I print
the document, the proper size space is in the proper place, but no
graphic is printed.  Any comments or suggestions?  The second has to do
with graphs from Quattro Pro.  There is no direct interface between
QP and Word, yet QP will save information in 1-2-3 format or HPGL, and 
Word reads both (I believe).  Yet I cannot seem to get Word to import
the graphic from QP.  Any comments or suggestions here?

Thanks.  Post answers or send them directly to me.
