I will assume that you have some postscript code that you want
to include in your document, rather than ecapsulated postscript.
I know how to but ps into a word document but not eps.  Anyone
else want to take this on?

PostScript in Word Documents
============================
1) Paste the PS into the document.
2) Select the PS code.
3) Choose, "Define Styles..." from the Format menu.
4) Type "PostScript in the "Style:" box.  Click on Apply. 
5) A window will ask if you wan to change this automatic
   style.  An automatic style is one that is pre-defined.
   The Postscript style is pre-defined.
6) Click on "no".
7) The selected text will change into Normal + Font:10 Point,
   Bold Hidden.  Normal font is 12 Point, Flush left.  This
   is based on an "out of the box" version of Word.

The text will now be downloaded to the printer to be interpreted
as Postscript but will not be printed.  You can hide the hidden
test by checking the appropriate check box in the Preferences...
window.

My favorite piece of PS code for MS Word is the following.  It 
should be inbedded in the header (choose open header and then
paste this code into it.  It will print the word "PRELIMINARY"
is very light lettering underneath the text of your document.

gsave
.99 setgray
150 100 moveto
/Helvetica-Bold findfont 100 scalefont setfont
55 rotate
(PRELIMINARY) show

ENJOY!
