Waterloo Graphics is open-source and can be used from R.
Graphics can be copied and pasted in vector format to Word on Windows or
Mac.
There is also an SVG file save option that produces output with easy-to-use
object groupings for editing an Adobe Illustrator/Inkscape.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I thought I'd
throw in my solution.
I usually produce my plots with the svg device. Ex:
plot(1:100,(1:100)^2)
svg(filename=example.svg,height=3.83,width=3.83,pointsize=10)
plot(1:100,(1:100)^2,xlab=x,ylab=expression(x^2))
dev.off()
Word
Another option to consider if your goal is to create a word file with
1 or more plots in it (possibly intermingled with text and other
output) is to use the knitr or pander packages (or odfWeave or sweave
or ...). This way you can create a script (or template file) that
sets a couple of options
Another nice thing about your solution is that circles look like circles,
and not like diamonds (when viewed on screen).
Thanks.

Unfortunately the win.metafile() device does not support semi-transparent
colours, which I like using.
In my experience, the best way to get R graphics into Word is to use compressed
high-resolution tiff, like this:
word.tif = function(filename=Word_Figure_%03d.tif, zoom=4, width=17,

Don't use a bitmap format (png).
I disagree. Each vector format comes with its own problems.
Don't produce your graph in one format (screen display), then convert to
another (png). Open the device in the format you want for the final file.
Agreed.
Use a vector
Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions. -- David.

Hello,
My x-y scatterplot produces a very ragged best-fit line when imported into
Word.

See ?png and argument 'pointsize'. You can increase that as you
increase the dimensions of the output image.

And possibly better, argument 'res', e.g.
png(R.graph.png, width=1200, height = 700, res=144)
plot(...)
dev.off()
Default corresponds to res=72.

Don't trust the preview to tell you the quality of the graph, try
printing the document.
Word isn't quite as bad as it appears.
Don't use Word.
Fortune?
