Your more than welcome Gearhead. You will need to save the pics as a TIFF extension, either with Photoshop or Publisher with a 300 DPI minimum(it asks the resolution you want before you save it). If you are going to do black and white pics, to will also need to change them to grayscale with Publisher or Photoshop as well.
Keep in mind that all you are doing in Word with your text and pics is only a rough draft, and once you get all the total page count figured out and text and pics added you will need to do all final editting in InDesign or equivalent editting software. I use InDesign CS2 which can even let you design and layout the cover using bleeds which is critical your that stage of editting.
Just let me know what you need help with and I give you a hand.
