I have found through experience to use win.metafile produce a .wmf file and 
in word insert the picture as a file.

The trick is to do produce everything as it will appear in the word document.
Size is critical.
The width and height of the wmf file must be as it will appear in word eg

win.metafile(filename = "x.wmf", width = 5, height = 3, pointsize = 10, 
restoreConsole = TRUE)
