           When you have the illustration on the screen in Illustrator,
        select all elements, hold down on the option key and copy the
        image.  This, in addition to putting the PICT information on
        the clipboard, the corresponding Postscript information is also
        included. Then, simply exit from Illustrator, open the Word file
        and paste.
