There needs to be an export function in Excel that allows graphs (charts) to
be exported to other media as image (bmp, jpg, tiff, gif) or vector files
(dxf, eps, pict, wmf). The quality of the current copy/paste files is poor,
and the copies image is still linked, ,therefore manipulation in other
programs is difficult.

Hi,

Select the chart and then whilst holding the shift key use the menu Edit
gt; Copy Picture.

Or via vba code the chart has an export method.
e.g.
Worksheets(quot;Sheet1quot;).ChartObjects(1).Chart.Export _
FileName:=quot;current_sales.gifquot;, FilterName:=quot;GIFquot;

Cheers
Andy
