Select the graphic in Mathematica and use Edit | Save Selection As... | EPS to save as EPS. Then import the graphic into Word. Personally, I still find the arguments about using Word unconvincing. All my collaborators have access to Mathematica, which is a _much_ better tool for collaboration than Word (but most use TeX not Word or Mathematica for their documents). Also, I use Mathematica Notebooks for non scientific documents too. I try hard to avoid Word and will use Acrobat or a web format instead. Cheers, Paul
