Making Pretty Graphs / Pie Charts etc

[thekingoflondon]

Hello,

Part of my job entails financial publishing, for which I currently use graphs plucked straight from Excel. The one problems is that they look pretty rubbish, regardless of what settings I use, and I want to start producing more professional looking reports in the future.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to programs or plug-ins that would improve the aesthetic quality of charts made in Excel.

Thankyou very much.

I don't know of any programs, etc., but there are some examples of things that can be done here:
