How to convert everything to EPS? (As far as I know) You have to find out your case:
1: You have a software like photoshop that does it for you!!! 2: You have a Matlab figure -> You can directly save it as eps in Matlab 3: You have a JPG image file -> refer to this article. 4: You have a vector based image (such as emf/powerpoint) and don't like to loose quality by converting it to bitmap or JPG and you want small files:
You can install a postscript printer (for example the adobe one), and print into file. change *.prn to *.ps. Open it with GSView, convert ps to eps (file->convert ps to eps). check the automatic boundary correction. You can edit the boundary in a text editor as well. You can review the corrected boundary using GSView (check options->show bounding box) Remember to set the page size to letter. Remember to change the postscript output options of the printer to "EPS"
Finally, if you are using powerpoint, go to "page setup" and set the slide size to "Letter" (and portrait), then create you block diagram etc in powerpoint, print it by following the instructions above.
One last thing: you can convert everything to pdf instead of eps for your tex files but it has its own problems...
Good Luck!

Converting PPT/PDF to EPS
Some useful information is here: [1]
In particular, if you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat, this works well:
- Convert the PowerPoint slide to PDF (e.g., using Adobe Distiller).
- Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and crop the page around the picture (Document...Crop Pages).
- Select File...Save As, and select "Encapsulated PostScript (.eps)" under the file type.
