Dear MathGroup:

Without question, Mathematica is the greatest thing since sliced bread
for doing modeling, data analysis and visualization. 

For all of its capability, I'm finding that something as fundamental as
exporting graphics for use in other applications (e.g., Word documents)
is really a pain. Is there any way to get true WYSIWYG plots saved to
disk that can subsequently be imported into a non-Mathematica document
without loss of resolution, bizarre resizings, mysterious font
substitutions, etc.? 

The closest I came to reproducing the exquisite appearance of notebook
plots was to do "File: Print Selection"...unfortunately, there is the
embedded header with the notebook name attached to the plot. I can deal
with white-out on the header, and photocopying the printed output, but
it seems like there must be a better way.

How do others in the MathGroup deal with this problem? Any and all
suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!
