When I create a 3D pie chart, the outline is always jagged, how do I smooth
the edges?

Thank you - they work a little bit better - but I did stumble on something
that works very well when printing - perhaps not visually on screen.
1. Create Pie Chart
2. Set Background as "None" and Outline as "None"
3. Shift/ Select CHart/ Copy Picture(Edit Menu) - Keep Radio Buttons at
default
4. Paste normally onto next sheet

Then when printed or placed into another graphics program the edges smooth
dramatically when printed - though not so much on the screen. Thanks again
for your help.

Thanks for sharing that. Hopefully, it will help someone else (me?) in the
future.
