hello, i hope this is not OT. can i use microsoft word
for printing quality work? lets say i have an image
that is at a very high resolution (or can be) and i
need to print out as if it were a professional
printing job. when i use an ordinary word document,
and print it out, the quality is not really that good.
the ink for instance is a little blotched. what am i
doing wrong, or missing, or can i do better?

Word/M$ products in general are terrible for images.  Get a nice
graphic, put it in Word and the quality goes.  You also (or at least I
can't!) copy and paste out of Word into something like Fireworks, which
is annoying.  I'd stay well away from that solution - Word just cannot
handle it.  How about PDF'ing the image and using the "Print" quality
setting in Distiller?
