how to insert a graph, properly from excel, into academic researc.

[sonny]

I am trying to insert an excel graph into office 2007 academic research paper
template and would like to find out if there is a proper way to insert it. I
keep copying and pasting. Basically when I copy and paste it looks really
bad, nothing like a professional paper would look like. Thanks for the help.

What is it doing when you paste it that causes you to feel it doesn't look
right?

You can INSERT OBJECT -- Microsoft Graph Chart or Microsoft Excel Chart (I
trust you can still do that in 2007) -- but you'd have to either copy/paste
your data or retype and recreate your chart.

Please provide details as to the type of chart/graph and what is happening
that is unacceptable.

Results are variable depending on the specifics of the chart - some come
over better than others, it's just the nature of the beast However, here
are 2 other options to try:

1- Use Edit> Paste Special - Picture rather than pasting as a chart object,
or

2- Copy the data from Excel, then in Word Insert> Picture> Chart & paste the
data into the datasheet.
