I don't print mine from Word. I found that the image quality isn't as good when I print them from Word as it is when I print them from other applications. I usually use one of my photo programs but I have used PowerPoint too with pretty good results. But Marion's suggestion is your best bet - try printing one on regular paper in draft to make sure you're getting what you think. Nothing is more disappointing than wasting a transfer, especially when you had just enough!
