Default excel chart to tiff or eps format

Hello,

I have created several detailed charts in excel for a paper that I am
sending to a journal. The journal requires that my files have eps or
tiff extensions. How do I convert the excel chart into tiff or eps? I
have tried to 'print' to tiff with microsoft office document image
writer , but the quality of the chart is too low. I also tried to copy
and paste the graph into paint shop pro and to save it as .eps , but
agai the quality is too low. Any other suggestions would be much
appreciated. Thanks.

Raoul

In VBA you can use

ActiveChart.Export "C:\test\MyChart.tif", "TIF"

but the resolution is no better than screen resolution.

What I have done successfully is print the worksheet to a PDF file, and
extract the eps depiction of the chart from the PDF. I use PrimoPDF and
PDFCreator to print to the PDF files, both freeware programs, with
outstanding results.
