Hi guys

I tried to put an igor graph into a word document, but the export graphic function is currently not working.

It used to be ok, but now when I go to edit and click "Export Graphics...", after selecting the file type and size,

I click "ok" and go to the word document, but nothing is able to be pasted out. Does anybody knows why and how to fix it??

Thanks,
Make sure you are using a file export format that Word supports. You set this using a popup menu in the Export Graphics dialog.

On Windows you should stick with Enhanced Metafile or PNG Image.

On Macintosh use Quartz PDF.

On both operating systems you can export a graph to a file as Encapsulated PostScript using File->Save Graphics and then import into Word using Insert->Picture From File. You can not export EPS through the clipboard.

You can also use File->Save Graphics with PNG.
