Word in Office 2003 (and I assume Office 2007) can insert encapsulated postscript with no problems on Windows, and display the graphic fine. Does this not work with Mac? Doesn't dragging a file into Word lose the full resolution of postscript?

For what it's worth, copy/paste between R and Word 2008 works perfectly. It
doesn't work at all for Word 2004...so that's at least ONE improvement (the
only one I've seen) in versions of Word.

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

In the R.app GUI, you can click the plot window and then select "Copy" from the "Edit" menu (or press Command-C). You can now past the plot into most Mac applications (e.g. Apple's own iWork suit), but it doesn't work in Word 2004 -- so it's really a problem with Word.

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

Or, much better, a PDF file by selecting "Save As ..." from the "File" menu (Shift-Command-S). You should then be able to drag and drop the PDF file into Word.

HTH,
