Using a NetDraw diagram in a paper or presentation

First, the easy way to capture the picture is to simply press Ctrl-C. This copies the current diagram to the Windows clipboard. Then you can paste it into any program.

Second, always increase the size of the node labels to an uncomfortably large size before saving the picture. The reason is that in any presentation or paper, the figure will be reduced, and when you reduce it you will have difficult reading the labels. So increase the labels ahead of time.
