- Every Mac word processor has a way to import data tables and graphs.
- It's called the Clipboard.
-
- On a more sophisticated (but not necessarily more useful) level, MS
- Word 5.1 comes with Microsoft Chart, which looks like a serviceable if
- not very exciting graphing program, and it supports Publish and
- Subscribe as well as embedded Excel spreadsheets.
-
- An added benefit if you have many references is that EndNote Plus 1.2,
- from Niles & Associates, comes with a plug-in module for Word 5.x, so
- you can maintain a reference library, change reference formats in the
- middle of the stream with no hassle, and generally make your life much
- easier. EndNote is the main reason I use Word rather than Nisus (that,
- and Nisus's execrable handling of footnotes).
