The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer received an "Error: End Of File" or "Incorrect Format" message upon retrieving an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) graphic file created in Freehand 3.0. The EPS file contained a metafile header and end information. Solutions: WordPerfect only supports/reads EPS files without an image heading and/or one with a TIFF header. The user eliminated the error by retrieving the file into Freehand and resaving it without the header information. The steps for doing this can be found in the Freehand documentation.

Users needing to remove the metafile header can also do so using a DOS or Hexadecimal editor. The PostScript codes will appear as regular text. The non-PostScript information that is to be deleted will appear as ASCII or garbage characters. These garbage characters will need to be deleted from the top and bottom of the file. For more information about editing EPS file to remove TIFF or METAFILE headers please see memo 11974T. Be sure the users back up the file before editing it.
