Gridline Proportions when exporting *.emf

Hi,
Is it possible to fix the gridline proportions when exporting metafiles?
When I'm creating graphs and export them to MS Word it is necessary for me to use the *.emf-format to achieve good quality. Therefore I'm using the painters (vector format) renderer.
The problem is, that the gridlines ('-.') lose their proportions in Word. When I smaller the graph, the gridline's proportions don't change correctly. the dots become to short lines and the short lines become longer.
I know that i could get around this problem by using another picture format, but i'm in need of a metafile.

Edit:
Here you can find an example of an original picture in Matlab and an exported emf-file in MSWord:
To use the emf-format is a requirement, which i cannot influence.

How are you exporting the figure? Because I do so with Save As from the figure's File menu and the grid lines look identical in the saved file to the MATLAB figure.

Is it necessary to use emf because that is a forma requirement, or are you just thinking that you need emf to have the quality you need (as your original post seems to indicate)?

Also, please post the images as updates to your original question, do not post another 'answer' to the question which is not really and answer at all. Thanks.
