It depends on what you want them for. With win.metafile, what is the
problem with multiple files? You can still include them in
powerpoint/word. If you want it in one file, then use PDF and you can
cut/paste the graph from the pages that you want. I typically create a PDF
file if I have a number of graphs and then use the 'snapshot' under Adobe
Reader to capture the output for my document. It usually has enough
resolution.
