Hi b0x4it,

Well, if even a photo-quality raster image isn't good enough, then you're going to have to figure out how to get Illustrator (or another app that can work with Illustrator files) to generate smaller vector graphic files in a format Word can work with. Since I've never used Illustrator, I can't help you on that front. Maybe there's an Illustrator forum somewhere where you could find that info.
