In my experience, this has been a recipe for disaster on Windows. In Finale, you must first change to a PostScript printer from the page setup dialog, and if you don't have a PostScript printer, install a dummy driver for one (such as the Apple 630), and then change back to your regular printer when done with the export (or you'll send reams of raw PostScript to your machine!). The resulting EPS file will not be placed in MSWord as a high resolution image, but only according to its low-resolution TIFF (not BMP) preview (though this may have been fixed in newer versions of MSWord -- please correct me if it now works). When you attempt to place the file as an object instead of an image, the EPS file will generate the dreaded PScript_Win_Compat error.
