: Illustrator to Word - Text Size Large (scaling issue) On windows, when exporting text (and more broadly any image) developed in illustrator to word, by dragging it from illustrator to word, there

@Phylliss782

Drag and drop is a very easy shortcut to move things around but you also get the results based on the efforts you invested in that action. In general this means: poor results a lot of time and less control as well.

Illustrator is a high quality vector software while Word is a text processing software, they do totally different things.

MANY software do not support good conversion by drag and drop, especially when you use 2 different families of software (Adobe + Microsoft). And Mac has better drag and drop than Windows since forever.


For optimal results, you should simply save your vector as a file that
Microsoft Word accepts, then import that image into your Word file (not drag and drop).

Try vectorizing (eg. do a create outline) your text first from
Illustrator; it's probably normal the size changes since they manage
the fonts differently.

I tried the method you are using and found that vector art, as opposed to text, transferred similar to actual typed text:



The top line being text typed into Word and the bottom line being a vector shape (text converted to outlines). Other than the kerning and color, they appear similar.
