Illustrator is a much more robust tool for polishing vector-based graphics. Plus, you don't have to deal with the non-standard data formats that MS uses for their graphs. There may be free or low-cost alternatives to Illustrator. Anything that can save graphics as PDF or postscript has got to be better than Excel. george On May 2, 2008, at 3:43 AM, sdw wrote: > gsi.tim at gmail.com wrote: >> I am preparing a graph for publication.
