" Also, are you printing to a Postcript printer? "
That was it. Thank you. I use a non-PostScript printer for my regular work, as it generally does a good job. I should have realized that I needed a PS printer for EPS files. (By the way, I needed to use the TIFF format in converting and not PICT.)
Thank you for additional information. I will check it out.
(I use a PowerMac upgraded to G3, Mac OS 8.6 and VW 8.5.1.)
I am a member, and I did check with tech support, but they did not catch it.
