With Word 2011, you have three ways of doing this:

(1) from the Word "Insert" menu, select Photo . and then select Photo Browser. If things work properly here, you'll see all your iPhoto photos displayed and you can scroll through them and select the one you want.

(2) Perhaps easier, but not as elegant, from within iPhoto you can export the photo to a convenient folder as a .jpg file. Then, from the Word "Insert" menu, select Photo . and then select Picture From File and navigate to that folder with your exported .jpg file and choose it.

(3) Maybe even easier, from within iPhoto, select the photo, choose COPY, then go to Word and PASTE the copied image directly into the Word document.
