Hi Folks, I just finished (the first draft of) a Wiki document to explains options for producing graphics to incorporate in MS Word. Thanks to all those who provided input, and who provided the wiki space. Here is the direct link. http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:using- platform:macosx-graphics Cheers, Hank Dr. Hank Stevens, Assistant Professor 338 Pearson Hall Botany Department Miami University Oxford, OH 45056 Office: (513) 529-4206 Lab: (513) 529-4262 FAX: (513) 529-4243 http://www.cas.muohio.edu/~stevenmh/ http://www.muohio.edu/ecology/ http://www.muohio.edu/botany/ "E Pluribus Unum"
To get the best results you need to transfer it using vector graphics rather than bitmapped graphics: http://www.stc-saz.org/resources/0203_graphics.pdf There are a number of variations described here (see entire thread). Its for UNIX and Windows but I think it would likely work similarly on Mac and Windows: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/32297.html On 1/31/07, Martin Henry H.

The thread you reference assumes that one has a Windows machine handy (with or without R installed) for creating WMF graphics. Hence the advice to create a high-resolution PNG, which seems to work well enough even if it is not optimal. cheers Ben Bolker
