For Win9x/NT I recommend the high quality freeware utility xnview
(http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/). You may either capture a window (for
example a dvi previewer) and afterwards crop the result or you may paste
the clipboard copy resulting from requesting a copy of the current page of
gsview, or you may import the the clipboard saved as a .bm file from
gsview. With xnview you are able to convert the captured image to manay
picture formats including those read by Word.
For unix users obvious choices are either the GNU image processing utility
Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/) or xv (http://www.trilon.com/xv/). Both
utilities read postscript files and are able to convert them to many other
picture formats.
