[Tugindia] Converting XLS files to EPS

[David Owen]

Hi, Venkataraman and Alok,
Thanks for your suggestions. Actually I have found exactly what I need in
order to produce .eps files from .xls files which work. I found the page:
www.rpi.edu/~bortonh/Latex-class/Examples/graphics.pdf

Follow the instructions to convert XLS to EPS. This works.
Thanks again for your suggestions. I appreciate it.
Regards,
D.Owen

Subject: [Tugindia] Converting XLS file to EPS

Hi, Everyone,

I have some   .xls figures which I want to convert to  .eps format to
use in
a Latex document.

I have tried two ways of converting them which do produce  .eps files.
However, when I put them in, say, Winedt , I get a blank space for the
figure in the DVI file. If I concert the DVI document to  pdf the
figures
are there. Now if someone had asked me what is the problem I would say
that
the  .eps files produced are not "genuine"  .eps files like what would
be
produced by, say, Matlab. 

Do I have to use the raw data and Matlab to produce a genuine  .eps
file?
Using the raw data and Matlab will produce a  .eps file which the DVI
file
sees. I have done this before.

I shall be happy for any help.

Thanks.

D.O.

Hi!
Which two ways do you use? Can you open the .eps file in gsview?
The problem probably lies in the dvi viewer.  Which tex distribution do 
you use? If you are using miktex, upgrade to 2.5 in which yap has
improved support for postscript specials.
Best regards,
Venkataraman

It is really meant for spreadsheets. It converts spreadsheets into a
tabular env.

If you meant charts, then you can export them to png (or similar) and
use pdflatex or convert the png to eps (via ImageMagik) and use plain
latex.
