other software with PPT

[Sara Tanner]

Does anyone use or are familiar with any other charting programs that are
compatible with PowerPoint (2003) that make nicer (finer looking) charts?

I am thinking of pie charts that look like the edges are beveled or rounded
a bit. I have tried taking my charts out of PowerPoint into Photoshop but
the edges always look jagged.


Thanks

Sara

try excell, the charts are easy to create and you can customize them. Use
the wizard if you are unfamiliar with excell then just copy and past the
desired chart into your presentation.

Illustrator makes nice looking charts -- you can give them beveled edges.
There are also programs like Xcelsius you might want to check out.

PPT 2007 makes really nice looking charts, beveled edges and all.
