While Word basically 'thinks' in TWIPS (1/1440th of an inch), there are a number of factors that can affect how it 'sees' a graphic
sizing.
In Word 2003, if the picture has an embedded pixel per inch value (PPI) then Word uses that. If the graphic does not have an
embedded PPI value (you can open the graphic in a package such as http://irfanview.com and look at the 'Information' icon data to
see if it has an embedded PPI).
If the graphic does not have an embedded PPI then Word 2003 uses the PPI value in Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]=>Pictures
I created a graphic with a 100PPI setting, 34pixels wide by 700 pixels high. When I imported that into Word it came in at .34"W x
7.0H". Same result with one 700 pixels wide and 34 pixels high. (7.0"W x .34"H)
If I created a PNG graphic with no established PPI but used the same per inch sizing and the Picture options was set to 72 PPI then
the result I get is similar to yours. The graphic app that produces the graphic (or basically its internal settings for encoding
and sizing a picture) can also be interpreted differently in different apps. There isn't a set size for a 'pixel', so the
conversion to inches/cm, etc isn't always handled the same way by each graphic app.
If you insert a picture 'inline with text' and the picture is wider than your margins, Word may 'scale' it to the boundaries.

I tested both on Microsoft Word 2004 for MAC and Microsoft Office Word 2003
for PC and the issue manifests on both. I have a feeling that Word does not
look at it as a problem but it rather acts within some constrains in trying
to negotiate both pixels and dimensions of a raster image. Thanks for picking
up the trail! >>
