Word 2007 - WMF's blocky in headers

A

Andrew

I have a logo in WMF file format. If I insert it into a header it looks fine.
When I close "headers and footers" mode and return to edit the document text
the logo appears blocky in the header. WMF is a vector file format so Word
ought to be able to scale the graphic to any size.

If I first save the document as a .doc (Word 97-2003 document) and then
insert the WMF in the header it DOES NOT go blocky when I return to the main
document text.

Interestingly the docx file looks blocky on screen but prints out fine.

Is this a bug? Is there any way I can work arround this problem?

Sort of. WMF cannot, for example, express a curve -- curves are actually a
bunch of short straight line segments. If you want a good logo, use EPS.
