assume you have office, try pasting into powerpoint, then copy/paste to word. In both cases do a right click paste-as enhanced metafile. It might also be useful to see if you can reproduce the issue w/o scidraw, or perhaps create a minimal example and post the FullForm of the graphic.

| Feb 22, 2016 at 10:40 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Actually there's one more thing I just remembered. Please include your operating system version and Mathematica version in the question. There was a bug in some 10.x version (don't remember which) on Mac where rotated text disappeared when exported to PDF. If you are on Mac, this may be the problem. Upgrading to Mathematica 10.3.1 will fix it. | |

... Try it like this: fig = Figure[...] so fig contains the Graphics object, then export as Export["file.png", Show[fig, ImageSize -> 5 cm], ImageResolution -> 300]. It is important that the image size is specified within Show and not Export, while the resolution is specified within Export and not Show. I don't know why ... I just know it from experience. 3. If you are preparing figures for publication (for a journal), the best thing may be to export to PDF and not insert them in Word directly. Word is notorious for destroying figures (I'm struggling with Word for Mac right now)

This might not be related to SciDraw. Unfortunately, as Marco says, copying and pasting to Office applications on Windows is not reliable. It uses the EMF format, which cannot represent all Mathematica graphics accurately and also seems to be buggy. Things to try: 1. export to EMF using the Export command (not by right click and Save Graphics As...; for some strange reason that might produce different results). 2. If that doesn't work, then export to a bitmap format like PNG. I wrote about how to export to size here. ...

I have generally had poor results in the past in copy / pasting directly from Mathematica to Word. | |
