OmniGraffle to Word X best way?

While the free epstool that Adam mentioned works for creating a TIFF 
preview that Word is happy with, setting it up is daunting.  You need 
fink, ghostscript, the Apple developer tools, etc.

For those of you with Graphic Converter, it shortly will have a TIFF 
preview that Word is happy with.  In the convert menu will be an option 
to add a TIFF preview to an EPS file.  Thorsten Lemke says that the 
trick is that Word crashes with a color preview, which is probably why 
an EPS with TIFF preview from an early version of OmniGraffle 3.1 a few 
months ago crashed Word.  Thorsten sent me a beta of this and it works 
perfectly.

Omni, perhaps you could talk to Thorsten about how he got the secret 
sauce to make this work.

And if any of you with a need to have this do not have Graphic 
Converter, you should buy it.  Best $35 I ever spent.
