[R] .eps files and powerpoint

[Marc Schwartz]

Rich,

Any chance that you have access to a native Windows machine or to a colleague that does to try the files.

I am wondering if there is any chance that there is something about running Office in Windows under a VM on OSX that might be involved in some manner.

BTW, which VM (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox or ?) are you using?
