Note: Keep the SHIFT key depressed throughout this entire process.


 * 1) Select either a Postscript printer, or the LaserJet III printer as the active printer.
 * 2) Create a chart in Microsoft Excel.
 * 3) Within the Chart Menu, press the SHIFT key and go into the Edit menu.
 * 4) Choose Copy Picture.
