R help - Jul 1999 - Getting R graphics into MS Word

I am just downloaded R, and am using it on Windows NT.

I would like to use it to generate graphics, which will be included in
Microsoft word or Powerpoint.

The graphics window allows me to save an image as an enhanced metafile.
However, if I then insert this image into a Word document, only part of
it is visible.
Has anyone on the list experience of trying to do this?
Do I need to change the graphics options in R or is there a problem with
the input filter of Word?

Thanks for your help and interest.

Tim

I have just been trying this out myself and getting ready to report it.
Cutting and pasting is fine with bitmaps, but gives incomplete graphs with
metafile. Saving as gif or metafile then insert picture into Word doesn't
appear to work either. There is no bug report on this as far as I could
see.

I am using rw0.64.1 with Windows 95 V4.0 and Word 97
