I intensely dislike jpeg drawings in Word. They blow up the file size and are still limited in resolution. Vector files are better. Hmm... a feature that Word has added in the last decade, that is quite good: It is now possible to import *.svg files. I have found a convoluted way for creating graphics: Write a Fortran program that creates PostScript for output. Convert the PostScript into PDF with a suitable tool, Adobe or ghostscript. Open the PDF with Inkscape, adjust the bounding box, and save it as *.svg. Import into Word (or PowerPoint). Ready! Directly importing PDF into Word is a nightmare, you get blocky graphics, and nothing works if somebody else uses a different PDF viewer.
