Dear Steve

If you like to use MS word I believe the best is to convert the postscript
by ghostview for windows into an image like jpeg or png.
Or on unix or linux by ps2img or convert.
Our experience with ms word users and postscript is that's ms word is very
bad in handling embedded postcsript files.
(This depends on the type of images, some of out postscriptfiles are 12MB)
If you write in latex there is no need to rotate by ghostview because there
is an option by epsfig or others where you can set several postscript
options like rotate or clipping.
Normally if you like idl you like latex too.

regards

Reimar
