Aaron, the best method I have found is to export the file from whatever
application you created it in as a .wmf file, and then importing this file
into Paint Shop Pro at a high resolution (say 3000 horizontal, keeping
original aspect ratio), converting it to a 2 colour image, and then saving
it as a bitmap.  The resulting file is then about 50 kb large, and looks
good when printed.  If you import the .wmf directly into Word lines and
fonts etc. tend to look a bit different and sometimes they float relative to
each other etc.

Hope that helps
 Roland
