Greetings Jack,

here's some free advice, for what it's worth:
- wipe MSWord from your computer and mind
- use LaTeX & includegraphics & ps !!!

But since you asked about including figures in Word,
I suggest the following (this is what I used to do).
Even though you don't have a PS printer,
you can still install a PS driver on your
computer. You can then print to file from MSword
to create the ps file.
Then view and print to your printer with Ghostview.

It has been my experience that bitmaps/WMF/etc look Lousy
in Word. If you do follow this crooked path (and I strongly
urge latex/ps if I hadn't mentioned that yet), then
get an image editor and sharpen your images, edge enhance
them, then decrease colour number to 2 (in that order).
This helps to clean up a lot of the plots, but resized
images often get a mottled grey background. YUCK!

Good Luck,
rgs
