Interesting that, when I insert a pdf object, the resolution seems quite bad, even though there are just vector graphics in it.

The only way to be sure is to try a printout. It's probably worthwhile UNchecking Word's option to compress pictures, too.
To get around the sharing problem for inserted pics, I'm thinking of "Insert and Link"ing them.

That won't really solve the problem if anything happens at the recipient's end to cause Word to update the links.

gotcha, makes sense now. thanks. perhaps the generated eps's weren't really compatible for some reason.

Word's documentation regarding "Insert and Link" is pretty clear that, if the linked file is not found, it will just use the embedded graphic. I just ran quick test: I "Insert and Linked" a picture, saved and closed the document, deleted the picture, and reopened the document. Hitting F9 didn't give me any problems, so I'm assuming that sharing docs made with "insert and link" will work ok.
