The only way I know to get smooth pies (and its a pain!) is to make your own chart from several copies of the pie slice auto shape in more auto shapes. Use the jaggie pie chart as a template and adjust the yellow handles SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I've tried everything I can think of.

Aw, go easy on ya. Try this instead: Zoom way out. Doubleclick to activate the chart. Drag the chart corners to make it really really big. Click off the chart to deactivate it. Ctrl+C or Edit/Copy Insert a duplicate slide Delete the original chart Edit, Paste Special, as PNG Size it back to what's needed. Better. You can also play games with makeing the chart really big (while it's active in MSGraph) then copy/paste as metafile, ungroup (while it's still big) and then shrink it back down; that gives editable vector shapes, but mungs the text. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks Steve (Trish says that's exactly what she said and I wasn't listening properly!)
