Just a quick update...
I had a chance this morning to try this out on Windows and Linux. The
trick works on Windows as well (with Adobe PDFWriter), but the PDF
generated on Linux is raster graphics.

Quoting John Kubie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Wow, that is impressive. I'm surprised. I was able to open the pdf in
Canvas X, ungroup and see all of the elements. Importantly, objects
that were small circles scaled perfectly. The one thing that comes in
as a bitmap is rotated (vertical) text. It's a good example of why a
bunch of people don't like bitmaps -- looks terrible when zoomed in.
Personally, I would have little use in exporting to Word. When I make
plots or figures in any environment I export them, in some fashion, to
a program such as Canvas X where I can do final touchups and format
conversions. Although the clipboard would be more convenient, going
through a print operation may not be too bad. I suspect the
print-to-pdf method may even be better (when I programmed some of this
stuff myself my little circles sometimes turned into little ovals in
the clipboard if I copied at the wrong size. never figured that one
out).

Currently, there is a way to get vector graphics without using Object2D. You
can print any of the examples to a PDF or PS. Have a look at the
Window1.FilePrint menu handler in the examples. It draws directly to the
printer graphics object returned by OpenPrinterDialog. Drawing to such an
object via any of the Graphics.drawXXXX methods is done in a "vectorized"
fashion for maximum print quality (I haven't tried that on Windows with
Adobe PDF-Writer, but it certainly works on the Mac). Have a look at the
following PDF file:
