Post the eps file that you used.

I wonder just what version of MS Word you are using that does such a
better job. Certainly not MSO Word 2003 as importing an eps into that
results in the same as OOo 3.3 or LO 3.3.

I did several tests using a .ps file from
<http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/make-table.cgi?collection=bacheng&preview=1>
<http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/BachJS/BWV807/bach-english-suite-2-bourree-2/bach-english-suite-2-bourree-2-let.ps.gz>
and converted the file to eps using Scribus. Of course the print to pdf
renders the converted .eps just fine. The MSO Word 2003 file didn't
render the eps any better than OOo or LO. If you'd like to explore
further then I suggest (again) that you start a new thread over on the
users list as that's a better list to troubleshoot things like this.
Further, if you do so I'll be happy to swap screenshots as well.
