Using L4 graphics in printed books

Even though this question is about L4 graphics/charts/illustrations, I've put it in General because it seems like the thing to do.

My question is: What is the policy about using L4 graphics (like a family tree, for instance) in a book that will be published for profit? I heard Bob say something about commissioning the graphics for Logos at Camp Logos, but I don't recall the specifics. If there is a link that explains the how-to and wherefore, that ought to suffice.

Thanks

Oh, one other question...the family tree graphics appear crisp in L4, but when copied to Word they look like they've been copied onto damp paper--all fuzzy and bleedy looking. Also they are significantly grayer than the black print of my text--is that what "Grayscale" (the choice of format I chose) is supposed to mean? Any fixes, suggestions, advice?

Thanks again

This could be happening because of resizing of the image or it could be the file type. Can you give a few more details?
