For Word for Windows you need a preview image in TIFF or WMF (Windows
metafile format) format. Preview images in either format can be added by
GSView (ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/rjl). This program is a Windows
front-end to the Ghostscript Postscript interpreter
(ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin).

WMF previews support colour, but there are various problems, eg if they are
too large the Word PS filter crashes! So I use TIFF 4.
