I don't have immediate access to Word 7 but with Word 6 I am able to simply copy and paste graphics from Mathematica to Word via the Windows clipboard. I am also able to export them as Windows Metafiles (.WMF the format used by the clipboard) using the "Export" command on the File menu and in both cases they print correctly even after being resized. I have heard no other reports of this not working. The best thing I can suggest is that if your problems continue you contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wolfram.com) directly. Note that if you have for some reason converted the graphics to bitmaps before exporting them then the above methods will not work. (Nor will they print correctly from within Mathematica.) I hope this helps. --Ian ----------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Wolfram Research, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- tel:(217) 398-0700 fax:(217) 398-0747 ianc at wolfram.com Wolfram Research Home Page: http://www.wolfram.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------- ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
