Many thanks to all who had advice on this.
For anyone who needs to do the same the best way I found to drop plots
into Word7 (much trial and error) is via the Hewlett Packard Graphics
Language ie SET_PLOT,'HP' as this is imported into word as vectors and
can be edited with the drawing tools. Its nicer to do it in Corel Draw
though!
Once again thanks for all the help
Charles
