The vector-graphics format recognized by MS Word is EMF/WMF, which unfortunately can not be easily produced on a Mac. (R for Windows can). I have found that it is possible to convert a EPS file to a PICT file using GraphicsConverter. PICT is the old (pre OS X era, before the conversion to PDF) vector graphics system on Macs. Word on Mac seems to deal with PICT files OK. Michael _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
