Programmatically inserted inline image is dithered in Word 2003

I am inserting a .tif as an inline image into a Word document. In Word 2003 the image is dithered.

Word 2000

Word 2003 (difference in size is due to monitor resolution in Virtual PC)
This is how the image is diplayed and printed.
Code:

'Logo Dimensions (in inches)
GlobalConst LOGO_HEIGHTAsSingle = 2
GlobalConst LOGO_WIDTHAsSingle = 2
'***********************************************************************************************
PrivateSub cmdOk_Click()
'...
With ActiveDocument
.InlineShapes.AddPicture _
FileName:=Logos(i).strTIF, _
LinkToFile:=False, _
SaveWithDocument:=True, _
Range:=.Bookmarks("Logo").Range
With .Bookmarks("Logo").Range
x = .InlineShapes.Count
Resize_Logo .InlineShapes(x), .InlineShapes(x).Width, LOGO_WIDTH
EndWith
EndWith
'...
EndSub
'***********************************************************************************************
PublicSub Resize_Logo(ByRef isPicAs InlineShape, lngDimAsSingle,ByVal lngTargetAsSingle)
Dim dblFactorAsDouble
lngTarget = InchesToPoints(lngTarget)
If lngDim <> lngTargetThen
dblFactor = ((lngTarget - lngDim) / lngDim) + 1
isPic.Height = dblFactor * isPic.Height
isPic.Width = dblFactor * isPic.Width
EndIf
EndSub

When I manually insert a .tif as an inline image (Insert>Picture>From File...) in Word 2003 the image isn't dithered. What can I do, other than manually inserting the image and/or resizing the image outside of Word, to fix this?

Since we didn't hear back regarding the original image file, I'll go ahead and post some generic information that might be helpful to you. If you'd still like to send the image file to us for further investigation please do.

Working with Word 2003 Images Programmatically

Microsoft Office Word 2003 is not a tool for text only. It enables you to use programmatically editable images such as shapes, charts, and so on. You can save bitmap (BMP) versions of them to your hard drive, create captions, and do many other things to them with Word's object model.
