R help - Sep 2008 - ON MAC, how to copy a plot on to Word document?

Yes, I don't know how to copy the plot on Mac and paste on to Word because
you can't right click on the graph and say "copy as metafile." 
I'm so surprised I can't find any information about this anywhere on the
Internet...

The obvious way would be to save it as a PNG/JPEG/BMP/TIFF and then
just import it.

I think you need to save the plot and import it into Word.  AFAIK you can only
copy and paste a plot in Windows.

Have a look at ?png  (There are other formats available)

To avoid the Word 2004 issue, copy the plot window then in preview select new
from cliboard.  Copy and paste into Word 2004.
