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.
