If I may be so presumptuous as to extend on one point in Elliott's most
comprehensive reply...

Please substitute the term "Insert> Picture> From File" for what he refers
to as "place". If you *paste* the content in it will be converted to a PICT
graphic which the PC can't display so it will generate an EMF. This not only
contributes to the "blurry" effect but will bloat the file because it will
retain *both* the PICT & the EMF.
Well spotted Bob!

Mr/Ms universitydesigner person will immediately recognise what caused
my mistake. "Place" is Adobe-ese par excellence, meaning roughly what
you said, although the file stays where it was, and a link to it is
placed in the InDesign document. He/she will know I really have given
up on Office when I'm forgetting the Office terms for common things
like that.

Thank you kind sir:-) I'm a stickler for the disparity in terms because of
exactly the same experience going back to PageMaker 1.0 (in the days of
Aldus, actually). I can't begin to estimate the number of occasions where
'place', 'insert', 'paste', 'import', '*put*, etc. are mistakenly assumed to
be synonymous & interchangeable.

Good to know you're still lurking about out there!

Gosh you have been around from the dawn of time! My earliest version of Aldus PageMaker was 3.x. ;-)

Adobe bought then promptly killed it. Hmmm sort of like another firm we all know . ;-)
