Oh dear what a pity Cryer, Jonathan D. “Problems with Using Microsoft Excel for 
Statistics.” In Joint Statistical Meetings, 2001.

Unless you need to have the graphs updating all the time in Calc would it not 
be just as handy to produce the charts/graphs in R and just import them into 
your final product.

A little bit more work but far superiour graphics and easier maintenance of the 
graphs.  It is much easier to change one line (or one word of code) than to 
start frenzied clicking all over again.
