Don't edit in Word.
But if you must, it is not difficult to remove the axis labels and titles.
For example:
sysuse auto,clear
scatter mpg price, xlabel("") ylabel("") xtitle("") ytitle("") ///
plotregion(style(none)) graphregion(fcolor(white))
Or change the line pattern:
gen t = _n
twoway line head t , lc(black) lp(dot) || line gear t, ///
lc(blue) lp(dash)
Or add arrows to label point or lines:
tempvar y1 x1 y2 x2 name pos
input `y1' `x1' `y2' `x2' str10 `name' `pos'
5 55 5 47 "Headroom" 3
4.1 77.5 3.7 73.5 "Gear Ratio" 12
end
twoway line head t , lc(black) lp(dot) || line gear t, lc(blue) ///
lp(dash) ///
|| pcarrow `y1' `x1' `y2' `x2' in 1, mlabel(`name') mlabvpos(`pos') ///
mlabcolor(black) mcolor(black) lc(black) ///
|| pcarrow `y1' `x1' `y2' `x2' in 2, mlabel(`name') mlabvpos(`pos') ///
mlabcolor(blue) mcolor(blue) lc(blue) legend(off)
