I hope someone has an idea to help with this because it is driving me batty!

I am trying to insert a graphic of an icon used on a device. The icon basically looks like a ruler at a 30 degree angle (one line with multiple little lines jutting off at 90 degree angles). I did a screen cap of the icon and imported the graphic in but it looks awful! I tried to draw the icon in Word but the drawing tools won't let me connect the lines exactly. If I draw it in another program (Paint Shop, CorelDraw or PhotoShop) and import it, it gets the "jaggies." The graphic needs to be quite small, about 1/3 inch square.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
