Why don't you export the graph first using graph export
Something like
graph export graph1.png
And then insert the file into ppt or doc file.

Subject: st: RE: Importing Stata graphs to Word
I tried this (copy / paste / convert / ungroup) a moment ago using Stata/SE
9.2 and PowerPoint 2003 on a Win/XP platform. Works fine
with either the enhanced metafile (EMF) or windows metafile (WMF) format.
However, in the past I have seen the problem you found. I did not determine
what caused it. I'd suggest you reboot, come up clean
and see if the problem is mysteriously (but pleasingly) gone.

Subject: st: Importing Stata graphs to Word
In the recent past I have successfully copied and pasted Stata graphs into
Powerpoint and then been able to edit them. I copy the
graph as a Windows metafile, paste it to Powerpoint, and then choose "Edit
Picture" (using right-click) and select "Yes" when it
asks me if I want to convert is to an MS Office drawing object. (Then I also
ungroup the objects.)
However, when I try this recently, it doesn't work. The graph copies fine,
but after I choose the Edit Picture option the lines and
labels disappear. All that is left are the blue and white background
objects. I've tried all the work-arounds I can think of,
including copying to Word, copying to Powerpoint on other computers,
re-ordering the objects, copying graphs as enhanced metafiles,
and using different color schemes.
If anyone has any insight into my error, I would be extremely grateful.
