Excel Chart, export as vector graphic. Is there a way to export an Excel chart as a graphic, preferably a vector format, eg wmf,dxf, cdr. I want to do that so that I can edit it in a program such as CorelDraw. Ture's method using Excel, PowerPoint and CorelDraw on the other hand resulted in a perfect copy of the chart in a vector format.

If you do not have Corel, here some alternatives for the raster to vector convertion: a) Commercial Application: PixEdit b) Shareware (Good rating but did not try it) c) Online Applet d) 'True Nerd' solution - Install a postscript printer _driver_ (does not matter if you have no printer) - Print postscript to file - Edit this file (assumes that you know where.) - To print it w/o postscript printer: Well, thats another story. (use Ghostscript or similar) PS: If you explain why/what you need this for, perhaps a better way can be found. Create the chart and make it rather large. Save it as a Tiff, Gif, Jpg or whatever format you want. Leguang lg-n100 driver mac. Now Here's the Catch.:) If you have CorelDraw, then you have another application called Corel OCR Trace that can help you with this problem and many others. Take this captures image of your chart, and open it in OCR Trace, then perform a 'centerline' trace. Then save it as a WMF file.

Then you can import it into any environment you need, ungroup it, and then do whatever you need to do. Oh.I almost forget.

If you put your chart into Powerpoint, then pergorm an 'Ungroup' on it, it will then be converted into a bunch of shapes that you can manipulate manually, or expoer as a WMF (vector format) file. You might be able to copy in Excel, paste to Coreldraw and then ungroup it there, but I'm not sure, since you're pasting across vendors. Cri, I had previously used Corel-Trace but did not get entirely satisfactory results. The quality of the output seems to be dependant on the quality of the bitmap that is vectorised and on the settings applied in Corel-trace. I found that it was necessary to do quite a bit of cleaning up of the line work to get an acceptable result. Ture's method using Excel, PowerPoint and CorelDraw on the other hand resulted in a perfect copy of the chart in a vector format. No additional editing was necessary.

I do intend to check out the three URL's you gave me. Windows 2000 sp2 iso download. Your suggestions were much appreciated.
