cmiller2005:

Let's take a step back for a moment. What is it you're trying to do? If you're trying to get to an EPS file, you likely don't even need Word and may be overcomplicating things. Give me an overview of what you're trying to do, and maybe I can offer some advice on how to get from 'here' to 'there'.

I've never used Postscript::Simple before (or have forgotten it if I did), so I couldn't speak to merging text into an .eps file. But do you even need an .eps file, or is that just another step on the way to what you're trying to do?
