Word *is* very picky about PS files. I have learned that (on the Mac)
saving Illustrator EPS files as version 8 (rather than the current
version 10) works much better if the files are to be placed in Word.
(That is, version 10 doesn't work at all.)

There is a nice new version of Tex for OS X that does output in PDF. It
easily imports PDF files into Tex documents as well. Since any Mac
application will make PDFs, this is very nice.
