The easier way: use win.metafile to save your plots, e.g.
win.metafile("base.emf")
plot(runif(50))
mtext("labelling
text",outer=TRUE,at=0.5,adj=0.5,line=-1.1,side=1,cex=0.7,col="darkgrey")
dev.off()
win.metafile("grid.emf")
xyplot(runif(50)~1:50)
grid.text("labelling text",x=0.5,y=0.005,just="bottom",gp=gpar(fontsize=8,
col="darkgrey"))
dev.off()
