An EPS graphics file may contain two graphics file formats: the PostScript
code which determines how the graphic looks when it is printed
(required), and a TIFF or PICT preview image, the version you see on the
screen (optional). That is all I know about this subject.
I'd very much like to learn how to produce an EPS image with a preview,
in particular the one that is recognized by Microsoft Word.
many thanks,

The bitmap produced by the PREVIEW keyword is in "device-independent"
format and is not recognised by MS Word, which requires a TIFF or WMF
preview.
I recommend using WMF previews and adding them with GSview
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/).
