Pasting graphs into Word

Unread post by randerson »

I recently upgraded to Rats 9.1. In previous versions, I often cut graphs made in Rats and pasted them into Word as Windows metafiles. The graphs had narrow borders, minimal border white space, were easily resized to appear nicely on the page, and charts were placed symmetrically within the frame But graphs copied from 9.1 to Word are inferior, with small charts, set in the upper left, large amounts of white space, and are difficult to resize for a nice appearance in Word 2013. Suggestions? Thanks.

Re: Pasting graphs into Word -- using Ghostscript

Unread post by randerson »

Following suggestions on this forum (and the release notes for 9.1), I installed Ghostscript. Save-to-PDF works fine, and the import of PDF objects to Word also is fine. But a question: the charts continue to be placed upper left inside the frame, with a good deal of extra white space to the bottom and right. Is it possible to edit the postscript prolog file to reduce this extra space? Thanks to everyone on the forum.
