I have found that the best looking results are when you export the Mathematica output to a postscript file - a sample code is shown below. Then go into WORD and import the graph as a file. I will admit that this is not the most convenient. I would love to have a simple "Cut/Paste as postscript" solution. But I work in the Windows environment and have tried the various Cut/Paste options available and have always found that they have some jaggedness to them. The postscript file route also has the advantage that you can resize the graph inside WORD without any loss of resolution. Here is my code to export the postscript file. See Export in the Mathematica Help for details. sinplot = Plot[Sin[x], {x, -2 Pi, 2 Pi}] Export["C:\Graphs\sinplot.eps", sinplot, "EPSTIFF", ImageResolution -> 100] I use the ESPTIFF option because it produces a reduced resolution preview that provides a view inside WORD. The default resolution in Mathematica produces a somewhat jagged preview within WORD although it prints nicely. I personally want a smoother on screen preview and have found that the ImageResolution -> 100 produces a nice on screen view with a minimum increase in the file size. I have not tried this under OSX so you might need to modify the directory syntax - I am writing the file to a "Graphs" folder on the main C drive.
