I am using Word 2000. I have the best results copying the screen output 
to a file using dev.copy(), e.g.

plot(blabla)
dev.copy(win.metafile, "mygraph.wmf")
dev.off()

(and then insert the graphic file into the Word document).

In particular, it gives me neater lines than with the GUI menus, either 
copying/pasting the graph into Word, or saving it to a file.

Best,

Renaud
