Not being the poster of the previous article, being referred to here, I
can only guess why he could not paste his particular things into Word.
However, I have come across one VERY good reason not to paste things into
Word. For a recent project report (around 35 pages long), I had to keep about
8 pages as separate documents in order to obtain decent printing quality.
This was due to the fact that Wingz graphs and Claris CAD drawings were both
mauled when printed from Word. The fine line thickness adjustments used by
both programs seemed to be "rounded" by Word, so that very thin lines were 1
point wide and others were just huge. Also, the endpoints of the lines in
question often do not meet (even, for instance, when they had been snapped
together in Claris CAD). Also, Wingz's curve smoothing was made jagged.

Along these lines, does anyone know of a word processor or page layout program
that does quality output of graphics pasted in from Wingz and Claris CAD?
