Hear, hear!  I think this would be bigger/better news for Word 2004 
than any of the 'features' that they demoed at Macworld.  Not like I'd 
start using it again anyway :).

FWIW, I've been able to do this successfully with epstool, although 
Word only recognizes an LZW TIFF preview.  If anyone is interested, the 
command line is `epstool -tg --device tifflzw inputfile.eps 
outputfile.eps`; this requires ghostscript, as well, so it's 
non-trivial.  I'm sure the Carbon solution you folks are working on is 
much cleaner!

Looking forward to hearing the news on the list today...
