Hi everyone,
I figured it out with the help of several of you!
When I paste the .bmp that was copied to the clipboard into the .doc, it
degrades the image. So and created a "format picture" button on my toolbar.
I configured the General/Web graphics setting to be 120ppi and 1024x768 (I
have no idea what those do, but it seemed good

)
When I paste the graphic into the Word .doc, it still looks bad. But, then I
click on the "format picture" button and change the height and width to 125%
and 125%.
Bingo!!! It looks great.
Thanks for the tips!
