I would like to be able to easily export charts in excel into .eps
(encapsulated postscript) or .png images. This would allow for their usage in
LaTeX which is used quite frequently in math and science.

Does anyone know if there are any versions of excel that support this, or is
the 2007 going to?

Hi,

You can already export charts to image files. It does though require the
use of VBA. You also need to make sure you have the appropriate
graphic filters installed, not sure if EPS is one.

activechart.Export "C:\temp\chart.png","png"

Cheers
Andy

EPS is not supported, but PNG is.
