Exporting to tiff resizes my logo

I have designed my logo and letterhead using Ill 10. It is the logo on top with lines going down the side then the address, etc on the bottom. I designed this using the 8.5 x 11 page setting and it looks and prints great. I have then exported to a tiff (as well as wmf and emf - neither of which work). when I then go into word to set up the letter (using headers) it comes out much smaller. If I stretch it to fit it of course stretches the whole thing which then looks very funky. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix it? Many thanks.
 
When you import an image into Word - if the image is larger than the margins width in Word it will be resized to fit. You need to move your margins right out wide first then after you import the image (at 100%) you can drag the margins back in.
 
Also, save as an EPS and import into word. Word can import EPS files and the EPS file retains the vector information. When you export as Tiff your converting your lineart into a raster image which will give you large unnecessary files.

Cheers
