I have just began to look at Mathematica 7.0 and it is very impressive. When looking at some of the very interesting projects that have been posted at Wolfram's homepage, I thought it would be useful to copy-and-paste some of the figures from these notebooks into my teaching material. After several attempts from different notebooks and different figures I found that the right-edge of the figure often was not completely copied (e.g. missing axis tic labels near the right edge) when pasting into Corel Draw X3. Note, I am running Mathematica 7.0 on a Windows Vista platform and the copy-and-paste operation did work ok when pasting into OpenOffice 3.0.0. I then did some experimenting with exporting Mathematica 7-0 figures using different formats. I found the *.EPS format was the best (at least for importing them into Corel Draw) --- the text and figure quality was excellent with no detectable loss of information. I hope that this information will be useful to others that may be working with Mathematica figures. --V. Stokes
