I have a question: hope this fits under "Calculus" topic. I am trying to embed vector graphics in my Word documents. MathCAD does this quite nicely for xy-plots, but MathCAD is awkward for constructing vector fields like those you'd find in electrodynamics. I could use Maple, but those embeds graphics in Word documents as bitmaps, which are ugly.

Anyone know of a way around this? Is there any software that will support vector graphics embedded in Word documents that *can* handle vector fields? (Note the two different contexts of the word "vector"!)

Again: apologies if this post belongs elsewhere. I didn't know what to post it under...and "coursework questions" seemed appropriate.
