I work on a PC and log into Unix using Exceed.  When I have several plots on a page, it is really difficult to put the same plot I see in the S-PLUS (Unix version) graphics windows into Word (on PC side; most investigators want to receive memos in Word).  I save them as word meta files (using wmf.graph) in S-PLUS and then insert them into Word.  I often lose numbers on my axes and the resolution is much poorer in Word.  I spend a lot of time going back and forth between operating systems to make the plots look right in Word.  The plots look extremely different in S-PLUS, Word, and even when they are printed.  Has anyone else experienced this and/or have any suggestions?  Do you think having S-PLUS on the PC side would be helpful?

Thanks,
Julie
