This won't be terribly helpful, but my short answer would be that there is no way that qualifies even as good, let alone best, for most figures. I hadn't made a figure in Excel in a long time, but I just did to muck around. I couldn't figure out how to save the figure (chart) by itself as an image. I saved the worksheet as a web page to force the chart into its own image file, but it was a GIF. How did you get them into JPGs? Is this Office 2007, the new and unimproved Office? Either way, the image that came out was not good and couldn't be resized in an editor - forget the reason why, something about scalable, vectorization...
One thing I've done in a pinch is to make the image fill as much of the screen as possible and use Print Screen, then paste that image into an editor like GIMP. This will work to get "decent" resolution for simple stuff, but I wouldn't do it for publications or any final product. timtheenchanter wrote: > > Sorry if this question has been answered before but what is the best way > to import excel graphs (Charts) into Lyx.
