This might not help, but let me tell you what we do at TakeControl
(publishers of electronic books, including a book about Word 2004 by
Moi). Never drag *anything* into Word. Take a screen shot and / or save
as an image file - munge or change format with GraphicConverter if you
have to; then use Insert Picture (from file) to place the picture. This
way you know exactly what you are getting, plus you have original pix to
go back to if there is a problem. All our screen shot images in the
TakeControl books are TIFFs; this gives us all the pixels, as it were.
TIFF is standard and cross-platform, so the document opens fine on
Windows (it has to because we use Windows to generate the final PDFs),
plus in the final PDFs you can decide what resolution to embed the TIFFs
at, so a high resolution is possible (i.e. the image may be reduced in
size, but behind the scenes all the pixels are still there and the user
can see them by zooming in if desired). m.
