Isn't an object that large too big to be putting in the middle of a body of
text, even if the lines were adjusted correctly?  I think you can manually
adjust line spacing in Word, BTW (but don't ask me exactly how -- I'll leave
that for someone who uses it regularly).  It would be more visually appealing
if you could rewrite your document so that the large constructions like
matrices come in a "display", between to blocks of text (see example below)

                         This is a displayed item
               They are usually centred but can be left-adjusted
              They are good for large expressions, diagrams, etc.

For the number of times you'd need to do it that way, you could do it
manually...  but the problem is that if you change anything in that paragraph,
the line wrapping changes, and your superscripted text is in the wrong place. 
It's better to make formatting changes to the applicable character or whatever,
so that the formatting "sticks" to it.
