If you have the luxury of choosing Excel over MS Graph, I'd do so.
In a heartbeat. But only if I *had* to wait that long. ;-)
Brian and a few of the others can give you more of the lowdown on working with
Excel. I'm the one who always gets stuck with MSGraph when we double-date.
Quite apart from that, a solution based on Excel will have longer legs ...
unless you do a custom install, MSGraph is no longer part of Office 2007;
PowerPoint 2007 calls up Excel to do its chart-lifting now.
