ID 2 Graphs and Charts

We use InDesign version 2 to lay out a daily publication for transmission to clients by fax and email (the emailed version is in PDF format). We also use Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint to generate charts and graphs and then transfer them into InDesign. When making these transfers, though, the graphs and charts become pixelated and have the 'jaggies'.

Is there a plug-in that will allow Excel and/or PowerPoint charts to transfer into ID2 without this pixelation? As a workaround, we've been taking the raw data from the charts as designed in Excel and PowerPoint and loading it into Illustrator 9 for smooth importing to ID. But this doubles up the work.

Any suggestions about how to get Excel or PPt. charts and graphs to import in hi resolution to ID would be greatly appreciated.

Seems to be the recommended method.

For what you're doing, you could create PDFs of the charts and place
those. The only way you're going to wind up with jaggies is if you're
using copy/paste, which is simply a lousy workflow.
