Hello!
The line around my pie chart is choppy. How can I get my pie chart to have a
smooth line?

Thank you!
 
I should learn not to quote the experts around me! They look pretty similar
(ie bad) to me.
 
I've tried everything I can think of. My pie chart just won't smooth out.

Thanks for trying though!
 
The only way I know to get smooth pies (and its a pain!) is to make your own
chart from several copies of the pie slice auto shape in more auto shapes.
Use the jaggie pie chart as a template and adjust the yellow handles

Did that answer the question / help?

Click to expand...

Aw, go easy on ya.

Try this instead:

Zoom way out.
Doubleclick to activate the chart.
Drag the chart corners to make it really really big.
Click off the chart to deactivate it.
Ctrl+C or Edit/Copy
Insert a duplicate slide
Delete the original chart
Edit, Paste Special, as PNG
Size it back to what's needed.

Better.

You can also play games with makeing the chart really big (while it's active in
MSGraph) then copy/paste as metafile, ungroup (while it's still big) and then
shrink it back down; that gives editable vector shapes, but mungs the text.
