[R] problem pasting into Illustrator CS2

[Dr. Christoph Scherber]

Dear Courtney,

Are you exporting the graphs as postscript files? This is the usual way I
do it when moving graphs between R and Illustrator CS2. I´m afraid I do
not have a Mac, but I suppose CS2 runs similarly on both systems.

Best wishes
Christoph
