Default Word 2004 Mac: page background image prints washed out or pixelated

Hi,

I need to create stationery for a client - we're both Mac-based.

The design contains vector art and hence can't be replicated in Word.

I was hoping I could just export the artwork as a PDF, insert that into
the header and stretch it to cover the entire page.

Unfortunately the PDF renders as an image at very low resolution and the
result prints poorly. But the colours are preserved as they should be.

Now I've tried using a 300 PPI image saved as Tiff, PNG and GIF instead.
The image stays sharp, but now the colours print totally washed out.


Is it possible to have both, the proper saturated colour AND the high
resolution image?


Any help would be very much appreciated.
