OP >
Please explain why you deleted my post on http://superuser.com/questions/21943/emf-to-eps-converter. It contains some information that might of use to others that run into a similar problem. as far as i can tell it does none of the following:
commentary on the question or other answers
asking another, different question
“thanks!” or “me too!” responses
exact duplicates of other answers
not even a partial answer to the actual question

It was flagged for low quality. Plus Lyx has been already mentioned http://superuser.com/questions/21943/emf-to-eps-converter/142546#142546

OP >

I'm afraid you'll have to explain what you mean by "low quality". I said in the post that the lyx convertor does NOT work, and I provided a work around.  How is that low quality?

This is how your post looks:

A big, rambling wall of text. Not to mention it's not clear whether you're talking about Lyx, mentioning whether you have the same problem( where did Visio come from? ).

In contrast, the question:

A little bit of formatting, paragraphs, some correct punctuation & proper caps makes a *lot* of difference in improving the readability.

fwiw I've edited your answer & undeleted, this is how it looks now

>A big, rambling wall of text.

Lets take this one step at a time. Exactly what sentence do you consider rambling?

>Not to mention it's not clear whether you're talking about Lyx, mentioning whether you have the >same problem

What part of the sentence "Unf. in the version of Lyx I'm running, the built-in convertor screws up the translation" do you not understand?

>( where did Visio come from? ).

I brought up Visio because the following person wrote:

> Open the EMF in PowerPoint, and print it as an EPS. This is handy for bringing a PPT > diagram into LaTeX, for example.


and on my machine both PowerPoint and Visio have the same problem, namely printing an entire page. Perhaps I should have added "in addition to PP, Visio.." but that is hardly cause for deleting the entire post. **Basically, you ought not to be so hasty with the delete key.**

If you don't see what is it that you did wrong despite my explanation I'm not going to explain it further.

Take it up with Meta if you want.

no thanks. I've wasted enough time on this as it is. I was just trying to help
