Nope. You'll have to take a screen shot to a file and resize it. Again,
this can easily be automated with tools built into OS X. 

BTW, I'm not sure what your reasoning is behind pasting graphics into
Word documents; but you should know you may very well be making life
harder than need be for whoever you happen to be sending these Word
files to. Word screws up images pasted into Word documents such that it
is often impossible to get anything but a low-resolution copy of the
image out of the document, which can be especially bad if there is text
or other fine details in the image that someone needs to be able to read
easily. I hope you aren't using Word needlessly for this purpose.
