Origin Version 7.5 SR4
Operating System: Windows XP

After I open a EPS file exported from Origin,
(1)Some Greek letters are missing
(2)Sometimes the color of some English letter is not the same as in Origin. Consequently, the color of a word is not uniform. For example, of the word "Time", "T" and "m" are blue, but "i" is red.

One software that can be used for opening EPS files is Scribus. The benefit with that is that it runs on Windows, Linux and Mac.
Otherwise you have to use Adobe's products, that are good as well.

Hi,

You can use applications such as Adobe Illustrator if that is available to you. Or you can try Ghost View:

Basically, as Greg remarked, you should view it with an application that can properly interpert and render the postcript file, or print to a post-script capable printer and check the printed output.

Thank you for your reply.
Would you pleaes tell me what software(s) can best display a EPS file?
It seems that other softwares than WORD have similar problems with EPS files. I submitted EPS files to peer-reviewed journals, where my EPS files were incorporated and converted into a file in PDF or other formats. The resulting files can not display the EPS files correctly, either.

Best Regards,

'Looking' at an EPS file is far more complicated than you may think. The EPS file contains drawing instructions that must be interpreted by PostScript (PS) software to render the final image. Historically, this software resided in the PS printer driver or in the printer firmware. If you looked at an EPS file inserted into an application that did not have the PS rendering software, you would only see a placeholder and not the image. The image would only appear in the printout.

EPS files can include an option to applications that would like to see an image rather than a placeholder, but do not have the PS software to actually render the image. This Preview option is available in the Origin EPS export and what it does is to add a picture (in TIFF or EMF format) that most applications can display.

So when you insert an EPS file into an application and you 'see' the image, what are you seeing?
IF the application does not have PS software, all you are seeing is the Preview image (or some placeholder if the EPS has no Preview).
IF the application does show you a PS rendering, the question becomes is this rendering identical to what a PS printer would render?

Your EPS file does have a Preview image and the Preview matches the actual printer output. So all the problems you are reporting are actually problems with Word. Older versions of Word did not have the ability to render PS and displayed only Previews if available. Newer versions of Word try to render the image using the actual PS instructions, but as can be demonstrated by your file that may not be an acurate rendering. In Word, your EPS displays a bad rendering of the actual PS. The Preview TIFF image included in the file is correct and the actual printout of the Word document is correct. Unfortunately, Word doesn't display the image correctly.
