Maybe I missed something in an earlier post about this, but if not this might help. The whole process seems simpler than some of the fixes I've seen suggested.
I am using Office 2004 (with all available updates), on OS 10.4.11, and the latest versions of R. If you use the png or pdf output in R to create your graphic, then in Word or PowerPoint you can use Insert -> Picture -> From File to place a graphic no problem at all, then resize it as needed. Then you can double click on the graphic to size, position, float, fade etc. I find Office does not always size upwards well, but shrinks things just fine. So make the diagrams larger to begin with. And the png device has the option for a transparent background, which can be useful when doing a scientific poster in PowerPoint. R to a png or pdf works well for web diagrams too.
