Hi Adam,

I think that the best option for integrating graphics to MS Word is to
either save the plot as jpg (for medium-quality graphs) or to save them as
pdf and then convert them to .png with Preview (for high-quality graphs).

For example:

pdf("myplot.pdf",height=3.2,width=3.5,pointsize=9)
plot(x,y)
dev.off()

Then open "myplot.pdf" with Preview and Save as PNG.

Cheers,
