I have had a lot of trouble with this very problem. It does seem
ridiculous that there isnt the facility for exporting CQ documents as a
graphical format.
Using the clipboard is fine as long as the program you want is on the same
computer and you have time to play with it etc. The approach I am using is
to use an intermediary program to dump the CQ graphics in and then save as
a PICT file.
I am using a shareware program called Graphic Converter which is
obtainable from the Info-Mac archives at Sumex. The location (off the top
of my head) is:
gst/grf/graphic-converter-25.hqx
This enables one to paste the dot-plots, histograms or WHY into a document
which can then be saved in any number of commonly used graphical formats
eg BMP, GIF, JPG, PICT and TIFF. As far as Im aware, most common programs
used to generate slides such as Photoshop, PowerPoint, Claris and Word can
read PICT files so that is what I normally recommend (I believe filesize
is smaller as well).
Even so, I would still recommend getting the plots into as near the
finished article as possible before exporting.
Hope this is of some help, but if anyone is using a different approach I'm
sure we'd all be happy to hear about it.
