Another way to handle EPS in Word is to use a form of PICT file that contains PostScript. I believe that Apple developed and is promoting the use of this format and that they call it Position-Independent PostScript. Adobe Illustrator '88 can create this type of PostScript by doing an option-Copy (option-command-c). Word will read the resulting PICT just like any other graphic, allow you to size and scale, and print using the PostScript. Because it has a bitmap attached for screen viewing, it will also print on an ImageWriter. The downside is that I don't know if anything other than Illustrator '88 knows how to make this type of PostScript and I do know that several applications, including Superpaint and MacDraw II, don't know how to read these things. But it is real slick for moving from Illustrator to Word.
