I don't use Windows, but it seems to me that you are probably not specifying
the size of your pictures, say, 8cm x 8cm, and R produces by default larger
pictures than would fit in a regular sized MS Word page.

With postscript( ), the way around is to specify width= and height= as
arguments to postscript.

Hope it helps,
