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). -- Brian W.
