OmniGraffle to Word X best way?

I know this has been discussed, by looking into the archives.  But has 
anybody discovered the secret sauce for getting OmniGraffle objects 
into Word X so that the following occurs:

1. There is a (possibly low resolution) preview.
2. No fuzzies when you print.
3. Resizable objects, with no loss of resolution.

Clearly EPS is the best way, but OG does not provide a preview.  So the 
best, but kludgy, workaround I have discovered is the following:

1. Copy the selection in OG
2. In Photoshop Elements, do New from Clipboard.
3. In Photoshop Elements, export as Photoshop EPS, Macintosh 8 bit 
medium preview.
4. Import into Word X

This works, and the stuff prints fine on both Mac and PC.  But does 
anybody have a better way?  I have tried playing around with Preview 
under Panther with no luck.  I really don't want high resolution 
bitmaps like PNG or JPEG.

Best Regards,
Nate
