Importing an EPS vector file to Microsoft Word without losing quality

Solution 1:

Convert the .eps file to .emf (Enhanced MetaFile, a spool file format used in printing by Microsoft software). There are several ways to do this conversion; for example by using the following webservice: https://cloudconvert.com/eps-to-emf

In my experience, .emf files are the only way to reliably embed vector graphics in several Word versions on Mac and Windows.

Solution 2:

If you simply insert the .eps file in word as an image it will look bad in Word, but when you print it to paper it will utilize the vector graphics and it looks fine.

Solution 3:

Don't open or import directly. If it's Word 2013 (v15), under the tab of "Insert", click "Pictures" icon and browse to your eps file. If the eps files was originally created in vector, it won't be rasterised.
