If you have Word 2007/10/13 try saving as DOCX and get calibre to convert that.

I just dropped a couple of images into word, saved to docx, and converted to epub - the attachment shows the results- word shrank the images to fit on an A4 page, calibre shrank the images to fit on the Default Output Profile

If I increase the page size in word I get less shrinkage (none if its big enough), and if I use Tablet as output profile I get no shrinkage in the calibre convert.

But even with the shrinkage by word and calibre the quality was OK but if I was to shrink those images down to fit on a 5" ereader I reckon I'd see some jagged edges.
