[R] PICT output?

hi, all.  I use R on a unix (linux) box and am quite happy with it.
However, sometimes I need to create a graph that needs to be used with
Microsoft Word or Powerpoint (ug).  I can create a png or jpeg format
picture, but the text look pretty crummy because jpeg is bitmapped.  I
can also create a PS/EPS version (my preference), but then it doesn't
display properly in word or powerpoint (but it prints OK).

I guess I have two questions:
  1) Are there any plans for R to output a PICT format?  (which would
solve this problem, I think, since PICT can be read by word/powerpoint
and is not bitmapped).
  2) Is there a way to get an R plot to come out looking good in
powerpoint or word

thanks for any suggestions!
