This is has been bugging me for a long time. Nobody around me seems to have this problem. I hope someone on the forum could help me. When I generate a R graph and want to bring the image into Word. I cannot copy and paste it like many of my classmates can do. The "Select" in Edit menu have all options grayed out. So what I ended up doing is to save it as pdf file and bring it into Word. But if I use "Identify" in the Plot statement, there will be values labels on the graph when you click on the observation. For some reason, these labels don't show up in the pdf file. So the last resort I have is prinscreen, which always have irrelevant things showing. I've tried updating R/OS and all softwares on my MAC, but nothing seems to do anything. I have OX 10.6.8. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance! Bonnie Yuan

Have you been shown how to save a graph as a JPEG or PNG?
try this:
png("myGraph.png")
plot(your_data)
dev.off()
A png will appear in your working directory, which can be imported into the
Word document.
You can do the same with a JPEG
see ?jpeg or ?png and ?dev.off
