Exporting Microsoft Excel Files to MacDraw or MacDraw II

To export charts from Microsoft Excel versions 1.5 and 2.2 to MacDraw to MacDraw II, do the following:


 * 1) Select the chart by choosing it in Microsoft Excel.
 * 2) In Microsoft Excel 1.50, choose Copy Chart from the Edit menu. In Microsoft Excel 2.20, hold down the SHIFT key and select Copy Picture.
 * 3) Paste the chart into MacDraw or MacDraw II.
