Sheng Guo does not say which version of Stata is being used. However, in 
most versions, the user can use the Stata menu sequence

File->Copy Graph

to copy the graph into the clipboard, and then paste it into PowerPoint or 
Word.

There is more than one way to export graphs to a .pdf file. However, the 
-translate- command in Stata 7, or the -graph export- command in Stata 8, 
can create an encapsulated PostScript file, which can be converted to .pdf 
using GhostScript if the user has GhostScript.

I hope this helps.

Roger
