For importing in MS-WORD etc. I use the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) driver CGMOF97L (or similar, see lib sashelp.devices) and the following goptions:

GOPTIONS RESET = ALL GUNIT = PCT GSFNAME = grafout GSFMODE = replace FTEXT = HWCGM005 /*HWCGM001 = Arial, HWCGM005 = Times */ HTEXT = 4 XMAX = 11IN /* Maximum horizontal plot size in CM */ YMAX = 8.5IN /* Maximum vertical plot size in CM */ HSIZE = 24CM VSIZE = 18CM HORIGIN = 0CM VORIGIN = 0CM /*CBACK = white*/ CPATTERN = red NOBORDER COLORS = (black blue red) CSYMBOL = blue DEVICE = CGMOF97L /*CGMOF97L /*CGMMPPA --> MS Powerpoint */ /* CGMOF97P --> MS-Office */ DISPLAY LFACTOR = 2 /* skalingfactor line thickness */ NOCELL;

Try to decrease font size (see above FTEXT).

Hope that helps
