For inclusion in Word, try the `emf` package.( or `devemf`, I don't remember). — Stéphane Laurent, May 01 '18 at 10:22

You can try exporting plots as bitmap images; e.g. as a PNG

png("example.png", height = 4, width = 7, units = "in", res = 300)
plot(density(rnorm(100)))
dev.off()

Try playing around with the parameters height, width and res to achieve dimensions and a resolution conform with the publishing guidelines.
