I don't use Word 6 for Windows but I think that what is happening to
you is correct, that is your graphics was included correctly by Word
and the entire document should print fine.
Many programs claiming that they are capable of importing Encapsulated
Postscript Files do not *show* them within their documents but *represent*
them with a box showing information taken from the file (i.e. title,
creator, and so on...), this is the case, for example, for the DVI
previewer for Windows (I don't remember the name of the program), and,
under Unix, for the tgif program.
