How do I make a chart I have generated in Excel into a jpeg file.

I have a chart that I generated in Excel that I need to make into a jpeg file
so I can resize it and drop it into a web site article. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. I have ACDSee 8 software for the resizing and dropping
into the web article I am working on.

You can copy a chart in Excel and paste it into Paint, or
better, the free Irfanview. You can save it as many types of
graphic in either program.

I'll have to leave quality judgments to you :-)

Copy the chart, switch to the photo editing program, paste.

You've seen several responses that tell you how. Let me try to convince you
what type of graphic image to use. JPG is poorly suited to things like text
or charts, since the JPG image format is designed to render smoothly varying
colors (as in photographs), not sharp transitions between colored regions
(as found in charts). GIF and PNG are both much better suited to images with
sharp transitions between regions of uniform color. PNG may even be better
unless your chart has few colors, because GIF relies on a limited palette of
colors.
