Fuzzy pictures when inserted to Word 2002

[Oppie]

This has been suitably strange. I've used Office XP for several years now
and mostly use Word 2002 to write training manuals. For a while now, I have
seen that pictures inserted into documents seem to be very fuzzy. I have
tried to use different file types as a source and have tried several
resolutions to no avail. The pictures always appear fuzzy. Since I am
overlaying the picture with circles and arrows, I need a crisp rendition.

Have looked at settings and can't seem to find anything that would change
this behavior. Any recommendations??

Just to get a reality check, I tried the same functions with OpenOffice 3
and the picture was as crisp as I used to get with Word.
