Saving chart as an image file

[Kevin Lauer]

I want to create a pie chart in Microsoft Excel, then
save it as an image file (.jpg or .gif) so I can put it
on a website. How do I do this?

Secondly, as I create my pie chart, how do I set my data
labels? I want to change them from the default (numbers)
to my own description for each slice.

Jon Peltier has some instructions in his Excel Charting FAQ article for
exporting a chart in gif format:

To add your own labels to the chart, you can use Rob Bovey's XY Chart
Labeler. It's a free add-in that you can download from his web site:

Rob's site is misbehaving lately, but you can find his addin in the MVP
section of Stephen Bullen's site:
