Hi norbert2,

thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice.org...

I see this in m130 on Linux, too...

OOo shows *.eps as known file format in the "insert file" dialog.
Since even KWord can import this file into a document OOo should be able to do
this, too... and even better/faster/... :))

==> confirmed...

MCI -> TM: 
Hi TM, 

who's "the winner" of this issue??
Comment 4 mci 2005-09-19 16:32:41 UTC 
ooops, sorry... of course it's the "insert picture" dialog...

TM->SBA: Please have a look, thanks !
Comment 6 norbert2 2005-09-20 11:21:09 UTC 
Maybe the problem is that this eps ha no preview included. I have inserted this
picture into word97.  There the picture also is not shown; but a message is
displayed. (attachement)
Please not: I only have tested old word97. I have not tested more recent ms
office versions.

solution:

OO should at least also display such a message to avoid confusing the user.

Or better OOo displays such images. I think this should be possible if "KWord"
can do so, like mci says. (But I have not tested KWord myself.)

Yup, the old 'missing preview' problem. Set to duplicate.
