Office 2010 turn off compression as default
As suggested, turning off picture compression and cropping worked on a document-by-document basis. Below is information on turning off compression as the default.

One poster suggested editing the registry.

I was not enthusiastic about advising people to edit the registry in order to eliminate this problem. So I turned to . . . Turn off picture compression [in Office 2010] To keep the maximum picture quality, you can turn off compression for all pictures in a file. However, turning off compression can cause very large file sizes without an upper limit on the size of the file.
- Click the File tab.
- Under Help, click Options, and then click Advanced.
- Next to Image Size and Quality, click the file that you want to turn off picture compression for.
- Under Image Size and Quality, select the Do not compress images in file check box.
Note This setting applies only to pictures in the current file or the file selected in the list next to Image Size and Quality.
In Office 2010, the drop-down to the right there is an option to set compression to off for all new documents. See attached picture.
