Hi Rosalina, I created simple barplots with R and saved them as jpeg oder png. I wanted to use them in a LaTex-beamer presentation. The results were simply awful. They looked like if I had copied them out of some other document, thus "losing" most of the resolution. However, saving the plot as pdf and using this in the beamer-presentation worked like a charm and the resolution was super-sharp. This is probably the point that Tim Gruene highlighted directly at the beginning in his answer. Which format would be the best to integrate into Word? Unfortunately, I have no experience on that one. My suggestion would be to create a sample graph in either of the formats and see what they look like compared to each other. I mean, it's your document and it should be pleasant to you at first ;) If you should want to modify the plots later via some graphics-program (GIMP, Photoshop, you name it...), clearly pdfs are not widely, if they are at all, directly supported, so you must convert it to a different format like jpeg or png then...
