[R] R and Power Point

[Michael Prager]

Erin,

 From an Rgui graphics window (windows() device), Ctrl-W will save the 
current graph to the clipboard as a metafile; Ctrl-C will save as a 
bitmap.  In PPt, Ctrl-V will paste either into a blank spot on a slide.

The metafile is a Windows vector spec that will be sharper and smaller.  
However, I have had trouble when viewing them on different PCs with 
different fonts installed.  Bitmaps will get around that but have all 
the usual limitations of ... bitmaps.
