There is no postscript import into OO - at least I didn't find it. As to 
eps: In the grahics import dialog, this is listed as one of the 
available formats, but when you try to import eg 
/usr/share/ghostscript/7.07/examples/ridt91.eps, only some tags are read 
in text format (title, creator).
So it seems that you have to convert ps/eps to one of the types which OO 
can handle, and those are mainly bitmap formats.
