Section 25 : Importing Plots into Microsoft Word
The plotter output of the AGILENT 35670A conforms to the HP-GL/2 Graphics
Language. When the PLOT/PRINT output device is specified as a 3.5” disk file, not
a printer or plotter, then the resulting graphics files can be imported directly into
Microsoft Word using the Insert Picture command.
Determining if MS Word Has HP-GL Graphics Import Filter
Before importing a plot file, Word must have the HP-GL graphics import filter
installed. To determine if it is, follow these steps:
• On a PC, start Microsoft Word or open a new document.
• Select Insert P
icture
• In the “Insert Picture” dialog box, at the bottom, click on the arrow next to
“Files of Type”.
• Scroll up and down the list, looking for “HP Graphics Language.”
If “HP Graphics Language” is present, then the HP-GL filter is installed. If it is not
listed, then you must use the Word Setup program to install the HP-GL graphics
import filter.
Installing the MS Word HP-GL Graphics Import Filter
Run Word Setup, by running “a:setup” from 3.5” disks, Word or Office CD-ROM,
and proceed as follows:
• After setup has initialized, select “Add/Remove” (components).
• In the Maintenance Dialog Box, click on the “Converters, Filters and Data
Access” option.
• Click on the “Change Option” button.
• Click on “Graphics Filters”
• Click on the “Change Option” button.
• Scroll down to the HP Graphics Language entry. The check box next to
it should be empty.
• Click on the HP Graphics Language check box.
• Click on the “OK” button.
• Click on the “OK” button.
• Click on the “Continue” button.
• Click on the “OK” button.
The HP Graphics Language import filter has now been installed and activated. To
make sure the filter has been installed,
• Return to Word.
• Select Insert P
icture
• In the “Insert Picture” dialog box, at the bottom, click on the arrow next to
“Files of Type”.
• Scroll up and down the list, looking for “HP Graphics Language.”
It should now be an import option.
