Why not just do an encapsulated PostScript file?
Even Microsoft Word renders these graphics beautifully. :-)

I think you are working in an inherently low-resolution
direction. All the IDL figures in my book are Encapsulated
PostScript files.

Dear Sam,
are you sure you want using MS Word ?
If you like using latex there is no problems with including of eps
files.
Ok I think you have to use MS Word.
Did you already have a look at the CGM Device or the Windows Metafile?
regards
