I'm not a msword expert but I think the program should be able to import
eps files (encapsulated postscript). You get the eps file by
"dvips -E <name.dvi> -o <name.eps>"
You have to make sure that <name.dvi> contains only one page, otherwise
dvips will refuse to make an eps file (for dvi files with more than one
page you will have to use the options -p <n> -l <n> for each page you want
to convert). The resulting file will countain the smallest possible
rectangular which covers every non-white stuff on the input page.
