To combat my superstition (never tried after Word 2003), I did a short test with a lattice/emf plot and Word 2007. Text rotation problem remains. I also tried a lattice plot not generated by R directly, but from an R-generated ps file and eps2emf. While the file looks good in Word when unedited, things are worse after editing than with direct export: only text remains, graph is gone.
