I've tried several methods in OS X, and here's what works best for me. Save the R graphic as a PDF file. Open it with Apple's "Preview" application, and save it as a PNG file. The resulting .png file can be inserted into MS Word or PowerPoint, can be resized, and looks good on either OS X or Windows. There are other programs available for translating the pdf file to png (like the shareware application Graphic Converter), but I've found that Preview produces the best results.

Quick question. I'm attempting to use some of the great graphs generated in R for an upcoming talk that I'm writing in Powerpoint. Copying and pasting (I'm using OSX) yields graphs that look great in Powerpoint - until I resize them. Then fonts, points, and lines all become quite pixelated and blurry. Even if I size the window properly first, and then copy and paste in the graph, when I then view the slideshow, the graphs come out pixelated and blurry. Is there any good solution to this, or is this some fundamental incompatibility that I can't get around? -Jarrett ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
