I had noticed the same problem as posted by Margarte so I took Brian's  
advice and downloaded R version 2.7.1 RC (2008-06-16 r45945) (running  
on a Mac G5 (2 x 3 GHz Dual-core intel) and an iMac (2.4 GHz Core 2  
Duo) both with OS 10.5.2.  I note that I still can not directly paste  
a copied Quartz window figure into a Word document (2004 version).  I  
could save and then insert a pdf version of the figure without a  
problem, but the direct copy and past is very convenient.  This  
problem does not arise when I try to copy & past into Pages 08 - works  
perfectly!  Can we expect that this feature for Word documents will  
return soon?

What do you mean by 'the latest version' (see the posting guide for  
the 'at a minimum' information required)?

My guess is that you have 2.7.0, and you should get a build of 2.7.1RC  
(or wait for 2.7.1 to be released next week).  These are available  
from http://r.research.att.com/, and I guess you should try

http://r.research.att.com/R-2.7-branch-45927.dmg

(or the current version).

A lot of the differences are bug fixes (in the previous quartz()  
device or R.app), but some new bugs have been corrected -- see the  
archives of this list.
