Matlab 2d plotting for better clarity

Hi, What is the file best format to save the matlab figures to paste in MS word? Actually i am writing my research article in MS word. Please share your ideas.

PostScript. This does not look very smart on the screen, because Word displays the TIFF-preview only. But when printed on paper or in a PDF the vector graphics are scaled. This will not work with OpenGL graphics, which are required e.g. for semi-transparent objects. In this case use PNGs.

I use PNG whenever possible. I have no idea about printing them on paper though. Save in a resolution as many pixels across as your screen, if you can do so. Normally I just save in whatever is the inherent resolution of the image (same size pixel for pixel), and don't resize them before saving.
