Hi Chris!

I generally do one of two things:

1. Generate a PowerPoint file with the plots I want (if I am working under Windows). Often it is enough to send a Word file and a PowerPoint with the plots. Since most MD's want to use the plots in a PowerPoint presentation anyway, they are happy to have two files. 2. Save the file using wmf.graph if I am working under Linux. These import pretty well into Word, since they are a windows image format. It is not always the same as what you see, so it does take a little playing around.

Pete

Greetings,

I've done a fair amount of experimenting and now feel that I'm simply missing something.

Does anyone have the right format for clear, crisp graphs that retain these characteristics in MSWord. I generally avoid MS - using LaTeX instead, but have to use Word for the current project. All of the combinations I try leave something to be desired - fonts thin, shapes odd, and other maladies.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.
