Argh!!! How do I get reasonable encapsulated postscript out of NT?!
The windows-based wmf2eps utility is The Right Tool. You simply copy from any windows app and paste into wmf2eps. Then you tell wmf2eps to save as eps. You can also set up limited batch conversions. You can find wmf2eps on any CTAN web site, including here. If you have access to a Mac that has Canvas you can use Canvas’s EPS export filter. This has produced the best results in my experience. If you don’t have canvas, the EPS output option in LaserWriter 8 is pretty good. You can also copy and paste to the windows version of Canvas, even the free 30-day version available on-line, and use its save-as-eps feature. However, there are several bugs, at least as of version 5.0.2. First, eps export of selections does not work at all – you get blank output. Make sure to export whole pages. Second, even that eps output is polluted with what looks like windows-specific cruft. To remove the cruft use epstool -p canvasoutput.eps > fixedcanvasoutput.eps. Epstool is one of the ghostscript utilities.
