At my initialization cell, I have a line like If. I use 267 for inch units of graph size and 42 as the font size that corresponds to fonts of size 12. So for the screen, I use larger font and resolution of image units for inches. Now, because I work in Mathematica in 75% magnification, these graphs look far too small on my screen.

This will look sharp on the Word screen and the PDF files you produce from Word. Word will ignore the size that you have set but you can right-click the graph, choose "Size and Position" from the drop-down menu, and set the size you want (3.75 inches width in the example). Import the graph into your Word document using Alt-i-p-f (/insert/picture/from file). Instead, you need to produce a PNG file in large resolution in this example use Export. It will neither look good on the page nor in the PDF printed from Word. You could insert this PDF into Word by using Alt-i-o (/insert/object, then the tab "From File") but my experience is that its quality will deteriorate. In Inches, the size seems to be 100 units of ImageSize per inch, so you will use Export in order to produce a PDF file that the printer will insert in the text and which graph will have a width of 3.75 inches on the printed page. In other words, you choose the font sizes you want for the text on your graphs and produce them at the size you want. For sending files to the publisher, you can produce PDF files of the graph at the size you want directly from Mathematica. My workaround is to have one graphics format for the publisher and different one for printing PDFs from Word.įor printing PDFs from Word, the one thing that has ended up working nicely for me is to create large PNG files, which you then adjust to size in Word. It is a problem for the reasons Popkov explains.

EMF has an advantage of being the native vector graphics format on Windows but unlike EPS and PDF it does not support font embedding. If you are not satisfied with EPS, I recommend you to Export your graphics as EMF. How do I flatten transparency on a graphics, for conversion to eps or similar? How can I insert an EPS file exported from RegionPlot into MS Word? I expand these topics and provide workarounds in these answers: If your graph contains transparent objects you cannot directly Export it as correct EPS file from Mathematica.Īnother problem is that MS Office supports EPS only up to PostScript level 2 while Export " generally creates PostScript level 2 files, and includes certain level 3 features if appropriate." MS Office fails to import EPS file when it contains PostScript level 3 features and unfortunately it is currently impossible to restrict Export for writing only level 2 files. One possible difficulty with EPS is that it does not support semi-transparency. Note that most scientific journals recommend to provide graphics in the resolution-independent EPS format. Instead of copying I recommend to Export your graphics as EPS and then import it in your Word document.
For achieving the best possible quality always use the Export command. The same is true for the vector graphics files generated by Mathematica's Save Selection As. Under Windows the clipboard will contain a Windows Metafile generated with display resolution fidelity! This is the reason why you see jaggies.
If you need to achieve the best possible quality I strongly recommend against using the Clipboard for transferring graphics.
