How do use use bmp if you are not? Perhaps you would be so kind as to tell us - What platform you are using R on? - What platform you are using MicroSoft Word on? and in future disclose such information in your first posting.
windows that is the best way ? What about exporting with R functions like png() ? I thought these functions would be the best way of exporting charts.
You assert, but you don't explain why and you don't like the results! If a `chart' means a vector plot, it is pretty obvious that a vector graphics format is best, and that means EMF, ps, PDF or SVG in the world of R graphics drivers. AFAIK Word does not support the last two.

Try Metafile. You can copy the graph (I'm assuming you're using Rgui) as Metafile, then in Word, go to Edit -> Paste Special..., then paste as Enhanced Metafile. This allows you to resize the plot in Word without losing its quality. On 14 Apr 2003, Ernesto Jardim wrote:

I used png, jpeg and bmp and the quality is poor when comparing with the postscript. What is the best way to export a chart to be included in a M$Word file ?
