  yes, but:

  the whole point of this discussion was that there _is_ no
vector format that anyone knows of that (1) can be reliably
created on MacOS using R/open source tools and (2) can be
reliably imported into MS Word (with working preview etc.).
The thread you reference assumes that one has a Windows machine
handy (with or without R installed) for creating WMF
graphics.
  Hence the advice to create a high-resolution PNG, which
seems to work well enough even if it is not optimal.
