I don't see the problem. EPS ist PostScript and you need a 
PostScript-Interpreter to use the full resolution of the outputmedia. 
Preview of OSX.3 does do that pretty well.
To see more than a rectangle-representation of the space occupied by 
the EPS, a preview gets generated, usually. This is a bitmap at 72 dpi, 
mostly.

So what I did was printing from OG into a file, output options: "save 
as file" and "postscript". Your statement "but OG does not provide a 
preview" is not true, it does and it looks pretty well.
Drag that EPS into TextEdit and you'll see. If it doesn't show in Word 
X, you know whom to ask.
