I just installed Corel WP9.0 on my Windows 98 machine, and was surprised when I
imported a PS graphic straight from R, and
1) saw the graphic on the screen
2) was able to edit it (change fonts, line styles, etc.)
all without converting the files first.

Even EPS files are a pain to insert into Word, which seems to wind up printing a
little message about how this space is really a Postscript file, but we're not
going to show it to you about half the time.  StarOffice is not much better,
accepting some Postscript files and rejecting others with logic I haven't yet
understood.  I pine for WordPerfect, which was outstanding at embedding
Postscript
files, but I don't expect to see it blossom now that Corel has hitched up with
M$.
