[R] OT: ps -> eps -> MS Word

[Don MacQueen]

My guess is that the problem is in how Acrobat saves in .eps format.
If you have Adobe Illustrator available, try using it instead.
I frequently go R/SPlus -> Illustrator -> Word without loss of resolution.
(Illustrator and Word on the Macintosh, but that shouldn't matter for 
this kind of thing)
