Hey David! The "actual size" refers to making the image as close to the intended result as possible. This can be done by sizing the document or doing a "selection" that is near the final size;-)
Also, I forgot to mention that WORD treats PS objects as TEXT. Thus center, left or right justification from the text control can be used.

They're big but > dpi is a function of the printer, not the object, Well, PostScript (EPS or PS) works fine if you have a PostScript printer for output, but most Windows users do not, so it's not helpful to recommend that. You *are* correct, though, that EPS/PS graphics make dpi irrelevant, as they scale to whatever output dpi you choose, depending on the output device. But for non-scalable graphics, dpi *does* matter. 150dpi is fine for onscreen display, but is terrible for printing. 300dpi is the lowest satisfactory dpi for graphics, I'd say, but for things like music, I don't think it's high enough (you'll get jaggies on beams, for instance, and if you resize in your target program, you may lose staff lines; that's dependent on the resizing algorithm used by the program you've inserted the graphic into, though; MS Word is actually extremely good with that). > Try to size close to actual size.
