Getting better high resolution images!

Hi,
I am using the "plot" command to generate certain graph. I save it in ".tiff" format.
However, the image looks blurry when I copy it to MS Word and especially when I take a print-out (may be because of poor resolution).
Is it possible to produce a better "high resolution" image?
Thanks!

If I have time, I save as eps and then use Photoshop or Gimp to crop it and save it in another format if needed. If I don't have time, I save as png since I can import that directly into Word and crop it there if necessary.

I was looking for something similar and found this answer on stackoverflow. Without having to download a separate function to do this try printing the image using print. Adjust the dpi, set at 300, to the resolution you want. The higher the dpi, the larger the file size.
print(gcf,'foo.png','-dpng','-r300'); *// 300 dpi

@Osama Arafa, @Biswabhanu Puhan, and @Osama Arafa, like I said below, "With r2020a and later, the preferred solution is to use exportgraphics() and/or copygraphics()."

Most of the time while image attaching/pasting in Word, the image is auto-corrected to look better. More often than not it results in bad image quality. For improving images go to Word Options> Advanced>Image Size and Quality and check/uncheck "Do not compress image in file" and edit the image dpi from there. It resulted in better image quality for my Word Documents. I have tried it in Word 2016 and later versions.
