OK, I've just been told by a client (a semi small-business), that they're having problems opening the logo I sent then (EPS is understandable, god knows why they're having trouble with the PDF I sent with it though....).
In any case, I want to send them a Windows MetaFile version, so they can use the logo easily in Word - while not having to rasterize it.

The problem being, Freehand 10 on mac doesn't seem to have the option to export as a WMF. I'm pretty sure that the windows version had this option.
So does anyone know of any workarounds?

In fact, anything that will batch convert EPS to WMF would be even better, since there's about 12 eps files, for each variation of the logo.

Illustrator 10 allows for WFM export.

open your eps in photoshop, save as .bmp. It will work in PC Word.

ehhh.......
bmp is bitmap (obviously)
note the "no rasterizing" part of my post.


Since I don't have illustrator (why whould I have illustrator, if I'm working in freehand?) - I've had to source out a PC and install the freehand trial. Now I have my wmf's.
