R help - Feb 2012 - problem with windows metafile

Hi there!

I have following problem: I created some graphics with "win.metafile",
which
I wanted to use in a Powerpoint presentation, but when I paste them into
Powerpoint the graphics are missing the axes. It looks like the axes are cut
off and I was wondering, if somebody know this problem and how to solve
this??

Thanks for your help! :)

win.metafile("example.wmf", width=7, height=5) 
plot(1:10)
dev.off()

Having relatively recently "updated" my Windows and Mac versions of  
Powerpoint, my guess is that the PPT default clipping is what you are  
experiencing and you need to learn how to shrink the full image into  
the display window. Try looking at the file with another viewer. I'll  
be it is all there.
