This is probably the source of the problem.
You should check the HTML by first viewing it in a browser and then editing the HTML code. A number of things may be happening.
The image in question may have been "resized" in Word resulting in a full size image being exported with the HTML having some sizing applied. It may be that this is done in a way the calibre fails to support. If so the large image wouldn't be scaled down to the design size in the resulting MOBI.
If this is the cause, one fix would be to use an image editor to resize the image to the desired pixel size. Alternately, you could alter the HTML for the <IMG> tag replacing Word's sizing with simple WIDTH=xxPX and HEIGHT=xxPX pixel sizes to achieve the desired display size. The first "fix" results in the more compact file size in the resulting MOBI conversion. The latter yields a better display if the user clicks on the image to display it full screen.
BTW, you don't specify the viewer you're using accurately. The viewer you should be using is "Kindle Previewer", which is what I'm hoping you are using. Amazon also provides "Kindle for PC", along with versions for other OSs. Preview is the better choice for proofing conversions.
