Default Chart export - high resolution, no gif or jpeg

Hi newsgroups,

I have read several posts about exporting charts to a suitable format,
however all I have found so far are the Export function and JWalk
Chart Tools, which both just enable me to save a chart as a rather low-
level picture (gif, jpeg, png etc.) However, I do need the charts in
reasonable resolution, not just at 96dpi, but rather at something like
600dpi. Is there any change to get them as a high resolution picture?

Thanks and best regards,

Chris

Default Chart export - high resolution, no gif or jpeg

I like to make the chart large and copy it to a graphics program such as
PaintShopPro or PhotoShop
Then save in format required after resizing to suitable pixel count
best wishes

Thanks for the hint, but that doesn't really help me. As soon as I use
the clipboard, I end up with a screen resolution copy of the chart,
and resizing it doesn't change it (at least not in Excel 2003). Surely
there must be a way to receive the chart as a vector graphics or
something similarly high-resolutional?

Regards,

Chris

I did a project one time with a guy who had Adobe Illustrator. I would
create my Excel charts and print it to a PDF file. When I looked at the PDFs
they looked so-so, still just the screen resolution, but he received them
and claimed they were great. He sent me the glossy brochures he had printed
up, and they did look nice. Turns out a PDF stores a vector graphic
internally in postscript, but displays a low resolution bitmap on screen.
