I don't know the reason but my experience has been when inserting
graphics into Word they should be .bmp (Bitmap) files, otherwise they
are hairy when printed.

Hi all,
I'm having a frustrating problem.
Aim: To print a simple graphic letterhead as part of a letter in a
word document.
Problem: the quality of the letterhead once inserted to the word
doc and when printed is poor, on two different printers in B&W and
colour. The quality of the image is fine in preview.
Details: An A4 word document with two PDF's inserted in the header
and footer. The 'images' are only two colours, orange and black.
The text is crystal clear, but the image appear fuzzy every time. I
have reset the picture's properties in word (I was worried that
resizing it may have lost quality). I have made sure the printer is
set to print best quality. When I zoom to 100% in word the image
appear fuzzy.
Why word is the problem: I printed the PDF's (the images I'm
inserting into the word doc) from Preview and they printed and
appeared crystal clear.
If anyone can shed light onto why word makes these images appear
fuzzy I would really appreciate it. Perhaps I need to try different
formats for the images or there is a function I don't know about in
word which decreases the quality of the image. The same problem
appears to happen with a similar JPEG image.
Running OS 10.4.4, Powerbook G4 400mhz, 768mb, 30GB, Word 2004.
Cheers,
James
