Hello,
It seems to me that .eps files are exclusively managed by Adobe suite software.
To use them in other software, you need to create a .svg version which can be done via Photoshop. The svg retains all the vector properties of the document. That’s its advantage.
Best regards!

Hello,
Here’s what I found just in case it’s useful
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript): An EPS vector format document is a file in PostScript language describing the content of an image or a complete page (texts, lines, imported images). Unlike PostScript files (format .PS) which can only be intended for printing, the EPS file can be viewed and imported into many drawing, DTP, and layout software. In fact, each EPS file contains a low-resolution bitmap representation in TIFF or PICT to visualize the illustration on screen. It should be noted that an EPS file is locked. This means that an EPS file exported from FreeHand, XPress, or PageMaker cannot be modified even when re-imported into its original software. Only an Illustrator document exported in EPS vector format can be reopened in the same software and modified. Adobe Photoshop can also modify the contents of an EPS vector file but thus transforms it into a bitmap EPS.
The bitmap EPS format is not very different from the vector EPS. In fact, only the data contained in the file is different. Thus, a photo editing software like Photoshop allows for the import, modification, and export of files in EPS format. Caution should be exercised when performing a four-color separation of an EPS file. It must be ensured that EPS images are properly converted to CMYK in the photo editing software before being exported in EPS format; otherwise, page layout software like PageMaker and XPress will be unable to perform the separation of RGB images. It is worth noting that the bitmap EPS format is sensitive to the resolution of the image.

Just give a simple drag-and-drop a try!
If it doesn't show the preview, you can go through the PDF format: EPS==> PDF and then drag and drop.
Lyx is a tool that approaches Word from an interface point of view and integrates the EPS graphic format very well; plus, it compiles in LaTeX and it's super easy to add References and equations. I really recommend you try Lyx; I think you'll eventually abandon Word and maybe even switch to a direct TeX editor.
Lyx ==> Word or PDF or EPS is always possible too.

Hi,
It seems that it's not possible to directly insert an EPS file into a Word, PowerPoint, or Open Office document.
However, you can open your EPS file with software like Gimp, save it as a PNG or JPG file, and insert that file. The advantage is that by opening your EPS file, you can set it to the correct dimensions directly without having to resize it in your Word document.

Indeed, as BAL pointed out, SVG being a vector format, Photoshop can't do anything... but Illustrator can!
Word has been able to import EPS since Word 2003. However, there are several versions of EPS... And the import filter in Word (through the command "insert/image/from file") does not support recent versions of EPS... so the file needs to be downgraded to AI8 compatibility
Maybe in the 2010 version of Word, the EPS import filter has been improved.. I haven't tested it....
A little note, Word can import EPS, but it can't print them!! If you print with a non-PostScript printer, the result is a low-definition print of the preview.

you can't save in SVG with Photoshop...
it doesn't open them and doesn't save them either
anyway, I don't see why Word would accept SVG any more than EPS
as for the EPS format, if it was created by Adobe, we can fortunately handle it with other software, including GIMP indeed
