[R] metafile copy and R 1.9.0

[Gabor Grothendieck]

I don't know if this workaround suffers the same problem or not 
since I have not tried it but you could try using the xfig device 
for your graphics and then using xfig2dev to convert that file 
to .cgm format (which is also vector based) and then in Word use:
   Insert | Picture
or if a bitmapped format is sufficient just use that.
