[texworks] EPS figure in MikTex2.8 .... still a problem

[Paul A Norman]

Dear Loulin,

Just for renewed clarity, would you mind please giving these things please?

1. a sample of a section of you .tex document that wants the image,

2. the top five or so line s of your .tex document,

3. and a screen capture of the area of your TeXworks installation when
you use the Menu:// Edit / Preferences, and then the Typesetting Tab,
click pdflatex, then the Edit button and specifically ** screen
capture the Tool Configuration box ** please.

( As in this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13401476/general_images/Tw_typesetting_preferences_pdflatex.jpg)

4. And the full name, location, and contents of you batch file please.

Hopefully this will sort out straightforwardly form there.

Paul
