In Summit you can save the current active histogram as a file using
"File->Save MetaFile Image".  The resultant file can be inserted into
a Word document and rescaled to suit.

I think the only other way to avoid the bitmapped jaggies is to
initiate a print but then, in the print dialog, divert that to save as
a file.  You will get a very big postScript file that might need some
massaging before you can insert it [not an intentional metaphor] (e.g.
you can use GhostScript (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) to convert it
to .pdf type).
