Let me see if I understand this situation. I use Designer to export
*.drw files as *.eps files.  Along with each *.eps file is created
a *.ps and *.tif files.  Designer also has an option to export *.eps
files 'without' tif preview.

I have installed epsimp.flt for Winword.  I can insert an *.eps file
and see it, stretch it, ..., as long as the *.ps and *.tif files
are present.

Winword does not draw postscript but can display tiff images.  Is this
correct?  I can't cut and paste the actual line from winword, but an
inserted picture pic1.eps has direct references to pic1.ps and pic1.tif
in the text representing the field.  

As a side note:  It appears that winword "caches" picture information or
something.  At times, when I delete the line containing the reference
to an inserted picture, and then I re-insert a picture (modified) with
the same name, I get a "file in use or busy or something" error.  If
I close the file and reopen it, I can then re-insert the picture??

Along the same lines, while I am at it, if I create a new picture and
overwrite a picture, then when I open a *.doc file which references
the picture, it is not updated (similar scenario to the above paragraph).
In fact, it seems that the picture ends up loosing some lines in it.

(I still think wfw is great!) (just get the bugs out)
