Piece of cake.  In your graphics box specify the file name of your
postscript file (assuming it's eps, of course), e.g. d:\pictures\123.ps.

This is far superior to converting to .wpg format.  As an earlier
posting noted, you will only see the phrase Postscript information when
you view the document.  When you print the document (on a ps printer),
you will get the high-quality ps output you want.  Converting to wpg
will allow you to view the graphic, but output quality goes way down.
