There is also an issue with Word in Office X and how well it handles PDF. Omnigraffle uses PDF to draw and store as does OS X I believe. But Word doesn't handle it too well and the result is poor both on screen and printed. I used Omnigraffle to prepare some flow charts about 3 years ago and imported (or pasted) them into a Word 2001 document - the result was quite good. Doing the same with Word X results in something unusable - even saving to PICT/TIFF/GIF/JPEG from Omnigraffle or Preview doesn't help, I tried them all.
Perhaps Word 2004 is better at PDF.
