33-1 Working with office applicationsThe ColorWise color management system provides complete color management forjobs printed from office applications. This chapter provides instructions for printingcolor documents from GDI (Graphics Device Interface) and QuickDrawapplications, such as presentation, spreadsheet, and word processing applications.You can use these instructions with the Microsoft Office applications.Working with office applicationsBefore printing from these applications, make sure the appropriate printer driver andthe Color Server PPD are installed on your computer, as described in the User SoftwareInstallation Guide.Defining colorsOffice applications use the RGB color model. For instructions on defining colors,see “Choosing colors in office applications” on page 2-4.The only way to use CMYK or PANTONE colors is to define them in EPS files withan illustration or page layout application, and then place these files in Officedocuments. Colors in EPS files are preserved until they reach the Color Server(assuming no PostScript Color Management information was included.)Office applications lack finesse when displaying EPS files, so use these files only whenRGB colors are impractical in your specific workflow. EPS files are useful when usinglarge or complex images that must be printed at full resolution or exceed the memoryallocation of some MS Office applications.Working with imported filesAlthough your application may allow you to import a variety of file formats, EPSfiles are recommended for all raster images you want to import; some applicationshave printing problems when using file formats such as TIFF and PICT.N OTE : It may be necessary to perform a “custom install” of your MS Office applicationif you are unable to import EPS elements.Chapter 3:OfficeApplications
