RTM. On pages 386 to 388 of the Word5.5 manual it lists the file types for
importing and some of the software that produces such images. B&W and
greyscale TIFF are listed as well as PCX.
 
To see how it is actually done, look in chapter 20 of the manual. It's a 
simple matter of following the prompts.
