 ### Tips for MS Word users

-* MS Word supports Encapsulated PostScript (eps) format (_Insert>Picture_).
-* The EPS drawings do not always look great inside the Word processor. However, they are nicely printed and exported to PDF.
-* To see nice drawings inside Word, you can right click on the picture, select _Edit_ and convert it to Microsoft Office drawing object.
+* MS Word supports Enhanced Metafile Format (emf) files (_Insert>Picture_).
 * It is possible to copy and paste directly from TimingDrawer to MS Word. This requires insallation of the Python [pywin32](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/) package. In TimingDrawer, select _Export>Copy eps file to clipboard_ and paste in Word.
