Resizing a figure, click right hand mouse on the figure then click... Bild (Image) --> Skalieren... etc (sorry my gimp speak German). Save your image as eps (just click right hand mouse and Datei --> Speichern unter/Speichern), type the_name.eps (GIMP automatically saving into eps format...) don't forget activate the PS Language type 2. I hope small tips will help you. Sorry for other list-members. This is very OOT... Wayan
