Problem with excel charts pasted into Word

Hi,

I have some XY (scatter) charts in my excel file. I have pasted these into a microsoft word document as "Picture (Enhanced metafile)". The charts have some curved lines. If I print directly from Excel they are smooth and unpixelated. After they have been pasted into word the curves come out very jagged.

Is there another way I can get these into my word file while still keeping the curves smooth.

Cheers,
Laudrup

One way: For a chart embedded on a worksheet, select the chart (by clicking
just inside its outer border). Hold down the Shift key, and from Excel's
main menu choose Edit | Copy Picture. Try one of the several options. Switch
to Word, and paste.
