Several posters in comp.sys.mac have referred to the capability of 
MS Word 4.0 to print postscript files inside of a Word document, but I
have been unable to get this to work.

I am trying to get a postscript graphic into a Word document. The graphic
comes from a non-Mac machine (Matlab graph on a Sun 3/50), and the 
ps file produced included the following comment:

% To make this file into an Adobe Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
% file, remove the 'initgraphics', 'erasepage', and 'copypage' commands.

My question is, do I want EPS, or do I want to leave it as 'pure' postscript?
And could someone please tell me how the heck I put this into my Word
document? I don't know much about postscript, and I find the manual for 
MS Word to be fairly cryptic in its explanation... :-)

Thanks in advance, all.
