I need help with using graphics in Word 2007 that will later be converted

pdf document. I have tried several formats and found that I get the best
quality of graphics using .wmf, .eps format, but when I convert it to
.pdf I get
a bunch of lines across the figures. I also tried .tiff and .png but
they give
me much lower quality. The best quality that converts to pdf appears to
be
.eps. However, I have now come across a problem with my figure legends.
For
some reason the legend is visible in R but not in Word. Does anyone know
why a
legend in .eps format won't work in Word, or how I can get it to work? I
have
made an example of the legend below that you should be able to save as
.eps and
paste into Word as an example. I would appreciate any help you can offer
on
getting the legend in .eps format to work, or on other formats that may
be
better for Word and pdf files.
Thanks,
Tim

color.legend(0,0,1,1,col.labels, mycol, align="rb", gradient="y")

legend
I don't have Word 2007, but when I execute that code I get a legend either
on screen or in an EPS file. So this looks like a Word bug; you'll need
to talk to Microsoft.
