Use Preview?

I just saved a PDF created in R on linux into a PNG using Preview's 
conversion on Mac, then dragged the file off my desktop into a Word 2004 
document on Mac. I opened the file using Word for Windows running under 
Parallels and it looked just fine. E.g. I could see and re-size the PNG 
in Word.

Preview can be programmed with automator if that is more efficient.

P.S. However, for maximum efficiency, it may be necessary to create an 
Automator script to delete all copies of Word that infest your computer. ;-)
