This is the correct behavior. Although Word for Windows cannot display the
PostScript graphic on the screen, the document will print okay on a PostScript
printer. You can change this behavior by using

IDL> DEVICE, /ENCAPSULATE, /PREVIEW

It will then create a preview image that Word for Windows should be able to use
to really show you what it will look like. See the reference manual for
details.
