>I too have been having similar difficulties. I'm on a Mac OS X machine. When I print a graph directly from Stata, it looks great, crisp lines, etc. When I paste it into Word or do Import Picture From File, it never looks anywhere near as good. The axis labels, which are rotated 90 degrees, are virtually unreadable.
Also, I am having some difficulty even exporting the file. I'll have a statement such as:
-graph export repayment.pct, replace-
which yields this message:
output-file suffix "pct" not recognized
specify correct suffix or specify as() option
r(198);
The "pct" suffix, incidentally, is what I get when I save the graph using the pull-down menus. When I tried using the "pic" or "pict" suffix (whatever is in the manual), I get some other message. Definitely seems buggy. I look forward to an explanation & better yet, a fix.
