GOAL: Use PROC GPLOT to create a graph that can be copied and pasted into MS Word with editable properties. BACKGROUND: I used SAS 9.3 that created a PROC GPLOT graph in the "Results" which could be simply copied and pasted into MS Word 2010. The copied graphic in Word appeared to contain data since I could move my cursor and see data points along my graph plus click the graph that brought up various graph formatting options to edit lines, fonts, graph characteristics etc... it was great. PROBLEM: I upgraded to SAS 9.4. I ran the same program but the copied graphic now pastes into Word 2010 like a regular image file and selection of the graphic only allows the "usual" right click file options in Word. What happened to this wonderful feature? I tried googling and found .EMF goptions and other advice but none seemed to work. Am I missing the wrong Google search keyword or is .EMF not the problem when SAS was updated to version 9.4? Advice I tried to follow included the following although PROC SGPLOT is not being used. https://communities.sas.com/t5/Graphics-Programming/SAS-ODS-Graphics-to-MS-Word-Advice-Wanted/td-p/364701 https://communities.sas.com/t5/Graphics-Programming/Creating-editable-ungroupable-graphs-in-powerpoint-2010/td-p/390893 Thank you.
