Hi, I faced the same problem. Here is my solution. First, print the MS document using "print to file" and "Postscript" options. Then, convert *.ps to *.eps using GhostView with "Automatically calculate bounding box" option. Then, I erase the large white regtangular box in the eps file using the UNIX command as cat input.eps | "s/: 1.* sco.* rf *;//" > output.eps. This solution given by Rob Sykes in "Re: Weirdness with PostScript figure - Solution". It seems to work well when I insert the figure into LyX and view with xdvi or GhostView. But I got the blank figure when I printed it out. Thank for your idea, I print-to-file the MS document as the "Encapsulated PostScript", correct the bounding box using text editor. And follow the same procedure. There is no problem anymore.
