Go into the drawing program of your choice. Select the document. Hold down
the option key and select "copy" from the menu. This copies the drawing to
the clipboard in the embedded postscript flavor of PICT.

Then go into Word and select paste. It'll show up as a PICT drawing on the
screen, but print using the embedded postscript in the PICT. 

I use this with my letterhead, created in Freehand2. Very nice.
