I am trying to include a figure into LaTeX from a paper originally created using MS Word. I have already converted all the text/equations into LaTeX but I can't figure out how to get the figures over without re-drawing them using LaTeX code (which I do not want to do). The image is a plain box (like a tabular
) one row by 7 columns with numbers inside each cell. Then I inserted arrows of varying length above and below the box (several short ones and one much longer).
I am trying to use the graphicx
package with the \includegraphics
command.
I copied the figure (box and arrows) from my original article into a blank Word doc. The figure only takes up the first 4 or 5 lines of the blank document. I then selected/highlighted the image and printed the selection using 'PDFCreator'. This allowed me to save the image as a .eps
file. I then copied and pasted the eps file into the folder where all my .tex
files are saved.
When I compile the document using pdftexify
there is a blank space where the image should be. In the console I get the following message when I compile the document:
[27] <Fig3-eps-converted-to.pdf, id =105, 391.4625pt x 74.2774pt>
<use Fig3-eps-converted-to.pdf>
Overfull \hbox 1.46153pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 511--516
[]
My code looks like this:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\begin{document}
%Text
\includegraphics{fig3.eps}
%text
\end{document}
I have read the sections on graphics in 'LaTeX: A Document Preparation System' and 'The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e' but I still can't figure this out. Should I maybe use a PNG image since it is a pretty basic figure? Any advice on how to properly transfer images from a word doc to .eps format and/or how to get those .eps
files into LaTeX properly would be a huge help.
eps
file. Try opening it in a viewer; what do you see?
