For our convenience: a request has been filed to add a checkbox to
the eps export panel to omit the preview information. That should
solve the issue (I remember this checkbox was in the system-level eps
export dialogue, it does make sense).

I'm sure they will look into this thoroughly. Still a bitmap is
larger than quite a few vector images. And the preview must be
understood by Office, so don't expect anything too fancy… the option
to turn it off should keep most of us on the list happy.
