 2) Is there a way to get an R plot to come out looking good in
powerpoint or word

Why not create a Windows metafile using win.metafile()? I think this
functions might be available only in the Windows version of R.

-----------------------

Yes.  I always create metafile of my plots, then paste them into
Word/PowerPoint.  It is the best way I've found so far.  Much better 

than

using bitmap or jepg.

I simply use cut (ctrl-c) and paste (ctrl-v) from the graph window of R 
straight into word. Works a treat.....
