Graph quality in MS Word

Does anyone have suggestions for improving graph quality from SPSS to MS Word? It seems no matter the method (e.g. cut and paste, export, etc.) the image loses its sharpness in Word.

You want to make sure to either export the image in a vector format, such as
EMF, or save as a high resolution PNG file. Sometimes SPSS defaults to
saving as JPG, which will pretty much never make sense for a graph you
produce in SPSS.

If you enlarge the SPSS spv screen as much as possible, you might get a better resolution with M/S Snip, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.

Have you tried the "paste special" option in Word? I get excellent results.

Paste special or the Export options do give you control over chart types, and V25 has some additional improvement for charts in Office.  Charts do have a little light shading in order to eliminate jaggies that makes lines a little less sharp.  You can see this if you magnify the chart, whether in the Viewer or in Office.
