How does Word read graphic resolution?

S

I am creating a brochure (will convert to PDF and then print professionally)
in Word, and I asked our graphics person to create a simple graphic in tiff
or eps. The tiff and eps she created were blurry, especially after converting
to PDF. She said the resolution was 172 dpi, and I said it should be 300 or
more. She said Word does not read resolution, but reads pixels up and down,
and that I should use a bitmap instead of a tiff or eps. Is she correct?

(This is a simple, two-color arrow that I originally created in Word, but
the graphic was too blurry in the PDF. I eventually copie and pasted the
arrow into Paint, saved it as a tiff, and it loooks better than anything else
I've tried. Did the same thing with a bitmap, and it looks pretty good, too.)
