Ah. I had forgotten that Word couldn't handle PDFs properly. I use
Pages myself.
Apple just released Pages '08 (part of iWork '08), so you should be
able to activate another 30-day trial. But it's only $80 (for the
entire iWork suite) so you might as well just buy it, so you won't
have to mess around with Word.
Cheers,

And I'm probably missing something crucial here, but why are you
bothering with EPS at all? If you're trying to place Finale
examples in a Word file, can't you just print to PDF crop what you
need, then place the cropped PDF? This works for me -- I haven't
needed or wanted EPS in years. Perhaps there's some reason why
this won't work for you, though.
In Word for Mac 2004 (the version I have) an imported PDF prints
with the screen resolution, antialiasing and all, slightly fuzzy
outlines, etc. I was hoping for the razor-sharp music examples I
get with EPS in AppleWorks or Word.
Actually, in Pages (the new program that more or less replaced
AppleWorks) PDFs import beautifully and there is a lot more control
over style and spacing, but I would have to buy it, as my 30-day
trial is expiring soon. I would also have to learn it, and I do
know AppleWorks inside out, which helps for this fussy stuff.
