I don't use Photoshop, so I don't know if this will relate. However, I cut
and paste MS Word graphics and clipart into Corel Xara and it converts it to
a metafile, which is then very nice and easy to work with. If it imports as
anything else it will be grainy. Perhaps try importing the image into
Photoshop as an enhanced metafile or something. Again, I don't know if it's
possible, as I said I don't use it, but worth a shot. Let me know how it
goes. if worse comes to worse, email me the word document with the graphic
and I will convert and email back in the file format of your choice.
