I would rather use metafile format for just that reason.  However, I 
learned from experience that the metafile format is machine dependent. 
The graphic doesn't appear the same way on every machine.  Maybe 
Microsoft fixed these problems or maybe not.  So to be on the safe side 
I use the Bitmap format.  Wolfram even recommends this format for 
creating documentation its.
