That is still the case with Office 2007, that is, no PDF import. If you import an EPS file and there is no pre-existing preview image, a bitmapped preview image will be generated upon import. It is the bitmapped image that you will see visually on the display and this is the image that will be printed by default, as Office does not natively render EPS. As I recall, older versions of Office would just leave you with a box-like placeholder for the EPS image, with no other indication of the content. You need to print to a PS compatible printer in order for the EPS image to be used. The same general situation is in place for OO.org relative to EPS images. There is a beta version of an OO.org PDF import filter available here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport however, my experience with it last fall was less than enthusiastic and it still has a ways to go. It looks like there have been no updates for a while. There are commercial applications available that can enable you to import a PDF file into Office and a Google search will yield many options. I have not tried any of them, so buyer beware.
