I hear you in your suggestion of recreating the cover in Word. A designer
already created a really nice looking cover sheet for me, so it would be
great to use it. Obviously, he works in the Mac world and I, in Windows so it
be laborious for him to send all the elements for recreation on my end (and I
am not sure I could do it justice).
His pdf is currently sized at 256kb. Would changing the size help the
situation? Your continued help is appreciated.

It depends what the objective is. If this is as suggested a cover page -
then recreate the cover page in Word. If you are inserting PDF files with a
document for reference, then print the PDFs directly from Acrobat or Adobe
reader and attach them. Inserted PDF files are always going to be something
of a compromise. The whole point of PDF is that it is not an editable format
but a stand-alone graphical representation of a document.
Did you check the inserted size of the object?

So you're saying that inserting a pdf into a document is not
recommended. What's the alternative?

PDF is a graphic format - unless you insert it at 100% size there
will be artefacts due to the shrinkage. Word will cause inserted
objects to shrink to the current margins.
Inserting PDF files *is* poor and unprofessional.

When I insert a pdf into a Word doc (the cover page, in this case),
it is not pretty. The quality looks poor and unprofessional.
Any ideas on how to overcome this?
Thank you.
