Pie chart appearance - HELP!

[Roberto Da Costa]

What is the method to export Excels charts so that they
have the best possible appearance?

Default graphs in Excel (especially pie charts) show
curves as line segments (jagged) that are clearly
visible. No graphic smoothness!

I've tried copying and pasting graphs as Enhanced Meta
Files with very moderate results.

Does anyone know if there is an add-in, 3rd party
software or anything that can help me to accomplish this?
I would really appreciate your help.

Since once you are sure the numbers in graphs are point
perfect, the most important thing is appearance, I guess
this could help most of us that have to make
presentations with them. =D

Thanks!

Robert.

Roberto -

What version of Excel are you using? While a certain amount of jaggedness is unavoidable when
displaying curves with discrete pixels, this problem cropped up in one release of Excel, but was
corrected by a service pack. I don't recall the specifics, but it is probably a good idea to
make sure you have the latest service pack for the version you're using.

I think it was an earlier release, but I'm relying on memory.
