Can I export a chart from Excel as a jpg or gif?

Does anyone know if it is possible to export an Excel generated chart/graph
as a .jpg or .gif into a webpage?

There is, but it involves another program (Paintshop Pro or something like it).

Have Paintshop Pro open before you start

Select the chart and with the SHIFT key depressed, go to EDIT and COPY PICTURE. You will be given the option of saving the picture as a BMP file - do this and paste the picture into Paintshop Pro. Save it as a *.jpg before moving this into your web page

You can select the chart. Copy it. Then do a paste special in programs like
Word. If your web design program doesn't have a paste special option, you can
always paste it into word and then copy the pictures out.

Many thanks for your help. The thing is i need a non-techy person to be able
to be able to export the chart to a Content Management System so that they
can publish it to a web page themselves, without having to use a web-design
programme. Any ideas?
