Not that I have used word for a while myself, but when I did EPS files
were my preferred format for Word docs that were to be printed or
converted to PDF. The only downside is that Word's EPS importer displays
a low resolution bitmap image of the EPS in the document so things look
pretty sketchy on screen. When printed, however, EPS images will provide
top quality. To achieve the same quality with JPEG or TIFF would require
a much larger image file and consequently a much larger final document.
I still send my Word-using colleagues EPS files for papers we are
writing etc.

?postscript for the options needed to produce correct EPS.
