Hi @jsko,

I'd like to help!

Word allows you to control what does or doesn't print with your document—at least for some elements, such as graphics. Here's how you can make sure that Word will send those images to the printer as you expect"

Figure 1. The Printing options for Word.

Figure 2. The Display options for Word.

1. Display the Word Options dialog box. 
2. Click Advanced at the left of the dialog box.
3. Scroll down until you see the section entitled Print. (See Figure 1.)
4. Make sure the Use Draft Quality option is cleared.
5. Click Display at the left of the dialog box. (See Figure 2.)
6. Make sure the Print Drawings Created in Word check box is selected.
7. Make sure the Print Background Colors and Images check box is selected.
8. Click OK.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
