Ghostscript can generate a preview image, but it doesn't know how to add it
to the EPS file. (It can't be all that hard, surely!)

GSview can add a preview in formats suitable for Word. It runs on Windows,
OS2 and Linux.

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get43.htm

The same code is available in a command line tool. epstool. There used to be
a WWW page for this but I can't find it now. However this might be worth
checking out:

ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/ghostgum/epstool- 3.0.tar.gz

By the way, to the best of my recollection there are three preview formats:
device-independent (as added by IDL), TIFF and WMF (Windows metafile). Word
accepts TIFF (but maybe not all variants) and WMF.

Good luck.
