Importing Images To LaTeX, with a no Bounding Box error!?

[Hloke]

I have been trying to solve this for quite awhile, and am baffled, as
I cannot work out why I get this error.

I use LEd, and I need to import a .eps file into the my document. I
created the eps file by making the thing I want on Microsoft Word,
then convert it to postscript via the Generic PostScript Print. I then
manipulate the ending of .ps to .eps; or I convert it using GSview.
Anyway, I have this .eps file, I check it in notepad it seems to have
a bounding box, according to the settings (I even changed these to
make it closer to the image but still did not work). So I put this eps
file into the C:\LaTeX\ProTeXt\MiKTeX\texmf\tex and then run LEd.
I have the the command of \usepackage{graphicx} and then the command
in the document:

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics{idealgas.eps}
\caption{The logic of the \textbf{P},\textbf{V},\textbf{T}
relationships}
\label{fig:Ideal Gas Chart}
\end{figure}

When I run the thing to get the DVI, it gives me:
LaTeX WARNING: file 'idealgas.eps' not found on input line of 73
! LaTeX ERROR: file 'idealgas.eps' not found.

and when I type 'h' for help and press enter twice it gives me:
! LaTeX ERROR: Cannot determine the size of graphic in idealgas.eps
(no BoundingBox)

I looked all around for solutions, nothing seems to help!!
Anyone got ideas???

Also while I am asking stuff, anyone know how I could get a 'd' but
with a line on top, but the line is not on top of the letter, but on
top of the loop only and through its vertical line?

It is better to start a new thread for a new question. Look at

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf

to find your funny d, I think you mean \B{d} in the fc package, table 6.

Try using TpX
http://tpx.sourceforge.net
It can import emf from MS Word and add it to LaTeX document. It can
also be used to easily create drawings without Word.

eps are _not_ simply ps-files with another ending. Make sure that you
export encapsulated postscript.

The ending is not needed. \includegraphics{idealgas} works too.

Not very surprising that LaTeX can't find the bounding box if it can't
find the file.

Did you updated the filename database? Is C:\LaTeX\ProTeXt\MiKTeX a
declared texmf-tree (a "root")?

You can also put the graphic simply in the same folder as your
tex-file.

Thanks!
Putting it in the same folder as the tex-file worked!
However, I wish it to be placed at that point on the page, but when I
launch the dvi-file it does not display it there, I think it is at the
the very end of the document on a seperate page; but when I try to
load it up, the dvi-viewer jams. How do I put it at that point? I
thought [h] puts it in set location between the text?

Don't use the figure environment or use one of the solutions described
in the faq:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=floats

And learn to better describe your problems: Make complete minimal
examples that demonstrates your problems, copy error messages, mention
your TeX- system and the versions etc. "dvi-viewer jams" is not enough.
