Thanks to all for the suggestions. For any interested parties the final
solution was to convert the .eps file to an Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file (I
think this just adds a header to the .eps file) using Ghostscript with the
ps2ai.ps file. The .ai file (but not the .eps?) could then be loaded by
Visio (amongst others) where I was able to cut and paste the image or save
it off as a .wmf. As I pointed out before using pstoedit (under Ghostview)
produced .wmf's with very poor resolution.

Although most agree the way to go is .eps files I much prefer the WYSIWYG
approach afforded with .wmf's (even against and .eps with a preview TIFF).
This aside, if the CGM driver worked as expected (keeping the correct aspect
ratio) the .cgm files would have loaded into Word fine.

Thanks again for the suggestions,

Justin
