I tried this and it works with an excellent quality (vector format). It
seems that it doesn't work with excel 2007.
Copy the graph as an image ( press shift and go in the edit menu then
choose something like save an image ).
You'll have a little dialog where you choose the appearance like in print.
Then you open PowerPoint, copy the image in an empty slide ( control-V
does it ).
An finally you save the slide in WMF, the office vector format (Windows
Metafiles).
This file is quite short and in a vector format, you can use it in LyX
without any problem.
( I think it's better to have at least 1.5.5 ).
Just FYI, 1.6 _will_ have native graphics clipboard support. On Windows
the emf and wmf formats will also be supported. This means that all you
_will_ need to do is:
- select the graph in Excel
- copy to clipboard (Ctrl-c)
- paste in LyX (Ctrl-v)
LyX will ask you were to put the emf file.
