Hi Idit, The quick and easy way as many have suggested is to copy and paste via the clipboard, but as this is just a pixellated image of your screen, you won't be able to do any post-modification of the plots other than re-sizing (it is a good tip as well to make the CellQuest graphic as large as possible and shrink it in the subsequent application). The most elegant way of dealing with the graphics though is to get them into PostScript format. Most laser printer drivers will have an option allowing you to either "Print" or "Save as File" - you need to save your CellQuest document as a PostScript file. As PostScript was developed by Adobe, any of their programs will deal with these types of files - my personal preference is Illustrator, where you can modify sizes, re-label axes, add new text etc. It is also a good idea still to get the figure to as close as possible to the finished article before saving. Good luck!
