I'm exporting some graphs from R to M$Word. I used png, jpeg and bmp and the quality is poor when comparing with the postscript.

I'm a little surprised that the bitmap function hasn't come up in this discussion. Its default res argument is too small... conversion of grey lines are somewhat unsatisfactory...
My magic line for exporting graphs from R on Solaris to PowerPoint on WinNT is:
bitmap("myfile.png", type="png16m", height=8.5, width=11, res=300)
(The type="png16m" argument may help with the grey line problem.) Good luck.
