It sounds like you are trying to re-size a bitmap format graphic.
These do not re-size well.

Try to export the graphic to a Windows Metafile format (.wmf) and then
copy or insert the image into Word. This format will re-size better
without compromising the quality of the text and other graphic image
components.
