Text is already a kind of vector graphic.
So, this will turn words into images not graphic objects.

This is an elaboration of Richmond’s technique.
on word2pix startWord, endWord, theField
if there is not a field theField then exit word2pix
if startWord is not a number then exit word2pix
if endWord is not a number then exit word2pix
if startWord < 1 or startWord > the number of words of field theField then
put 1 into startWord
if endWord < 1 or endWord > the number of words of field theField then put
the number of words of fld theField into endWord
lock screen
create field "dummy"
set the margins of field "dummy" to 0
set the opaque of field "dummy" to false
set the fixedlineheight of field "dummy" to false
repeat with x = startWord to endWord
set the rtftext of fld "dummy" to the rtftext of word x of fld theField
set the height of fld "dummy" to the formattedheight of word 1 of fld
"dummy"
set the width of fld "dummy" to the formattedwidth of word 1 of fld
"dummy"
import snapshot from fld "dummy"
set the name of the last image to x &"-" & word 1 of fld "dummy"
end repeat
delete field "dummy"
end word2pix
