Thanks for pointing that out, Eric. I try that and it did turn my plot 90 degree. The bad news is that GSview imports it upside down and if I want to view the plot on the screen, I have to rotate it downside up first. (Hey, I shouldn't complain. At least I can print without wasting a piece of paper for each plot).
So, looks like it's true that something MPL did to the eps file is causing Word to spit out that error page. I wish I know what it is. The problem of not finding out is that I need to send these plots to clients. I don't want to require that they have an .eps viewer in order to see my plots...
