Converting it to EMF is not an option, though I needed to insert it into 
OOo and did it using Gimp (2.0) to read the EPS, change it and write 
JPG. That worked just fine but it took me between 1 and 2 hours for just 
one image. Therefore I wanted to use another method which would be much 
faster (couple of mintues actually). Using kile (which uses te_latex 
etc.) showed up as enabling me doing it. By now it is completely done.

So thank you
