I just went through this exersise, but with WordPerfect. What I found with
considerable aid from P.J. Hinton, was that ...
1. Make sure Mathematica is using Postscript fonts, not Windows TTF's.
You can do this with $TextStyle = {<whole series of options>} and if you put it
in init.m, it's available everywhere. Valid Postscript fonts are Helvetica,
Times and Courier.
2. WP8 has options of converting metafiles to WP graphics. If there is a
similar option in Word (perhaps WMF-> BMP), don't take it -- leave it as WMF.
3. If all else fails, convert the graphic to an EPS file from the Front End NOT
via Display[]. You can then add a preview using Ghostview (TIFF packed works
quite well) so you can see the graphic.
