Paul,
If you're just wanting to adjust things like fonts and line sizes on the
plot for publication, then you have the option to save the plot as a
metafile from the PGPlot window and import it into PowerPoint. Then convert
the metafile into a drawing object with the "ungroup" feature. From this
point you can change fonts, line shapes, colors, etc. to get the plot how
you want it to look for publication. You can then re-save that slide as a
picture (gif, tiff, metafile, etc) to be imported into the manuscript. This
can get time intensive, but it's an alternative if all you want to do is
adjust fonts and line colors/sizes.
One caveat though, don't change the data! You can easily and unknowingly
change the data if you're not careful (performing an action on one part of
the drawing object without realizing another is highlighted for example) so
always compare the final product to the original to make sure it's the same.

Hi, I wonder if you can help:
I'm using Athena to process some XANES data and wish to export the derivative data so that I can use a package such as Excel to prepare the data for publication. However, the derivative data that is presented visually in the graphics window is a much cleaner, smoother data set than the one I get when I export it in either deriv Mu(E) or deriv Norm(E). I tried the smoothing option in Data-Smooth mu(E) with 3 iterations and again with 10 iterations on the interpolative smoothing. Both gave far noisier data than the data shown in the Graphics window.
Please can you tell me how to get exported derivative data that will be (more or less) the same as that shown in the graphics window? Basically I' hoping for WYSIWYG if that's possible? Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome and thanks for your time.
