How do I insert a photo into Microsoft Word from the new Photos app?

I have Word for Mac 2011 on my Macbook Pro with Retina and am now unable to simply go in and insert a picture into ANY Microsoft program since the update from iPhoto to Photos. I'm an archaeology grad student in the middle of multiple term projects that require countless Figures, almost all of which come from pics I took in the field that are all in Photos. These projects have to be submitted electronically, thus I cannot simply copy and paste everything into Pages (my professors all use PCs). I've found that I can insert an image into Pages and then copy and paste it to Word, but the quality is severely diminished.

Is there some way to change the settings on the Photos app to allow for image insertion? Or do I need to go in and somehow manually copy and re-save every photo into a separate folder outside of the Photos app?
