I tried PNG and JPEG, with 72 dpi, 150 dpi and even 96 dpi. It used the sizes we need in word so no rescaling is done. When exporting from Word to PDF does not help.

 

 

I use PS CS5 en Word 2011 both on the Mac. My client uses Windows.

 

Does anybody now what to do about the not so sharp images in Word 2011?

 

Yes create a good one you want to use word so you may want to print start with a print size document 8.5" x 11" at 300DPI the document will have a pixel size of  2550x3300 pixels make the logo large scaling down in size works better then scaling up in size im word

Is there a reason this has to be a raster image?

Can the logo be made and inserted as a vector file? (Using Illustrator?)

What you show looks like upsampling into a higher resolution PDF document.

And, just to be clear, your goal is to have the image in Word look like the pixelated text shown in the left image?

If you can't make the logo vector, I would use a much higher resolution than what you are currently using.

Here is an example of the logo (or the section you posted) created in Adobe Illustrator, inserted in MSW, saved as PDF and viewed (zoomed in to 1600%) in Acrobat.

A while back you appended

It seems that the quality stays better with 300 dpi, less qualityloss in MSW.

 

When I read something like that it makes me think that the appender is missing some basic understanding of what these things mean.   Images that have pixels sizes of  236px x 49px,  488px  x 101px   and 745px x 154px all can be printed at a 300Dpi resolution or any other resolution you care to print at.  All that changes is size and sharpness. Displays on the other hand are run at a single DPI resilution it make no difference what the images print dpi setting is set to.  Displays display all images at their resolution which is much lower then print resolutions so images apear very large on screen. The way to image size is changed on screen  is by software scalling the number of pixels used to display an images.  The pixels you see are not the actuall image's pixel how well the scaled image look on screen depends on two factors how well the software scales the image and how good the display is. Displays  DPI resolutions that range from around 84DPI up to the iPhone 326Dpi small retina display.  Most likely your display DPI resolution is around 100Dpi

To put it an other way the 236px x 49px,  488px  x 101px   and 745px x 154px  images actual pixels would display 2.36" x .49", 4.88" x 1.01" and 7.45" x 1.54" on your 100Dpi display screen and they would print on your printer the following sizes  .786" x  .163",   1.63" x .337" and 2.483" x  .513"  at 300Dpi.
