4.DView allows you to export graph images as bitmaps or metafiles, and to save them as portable network graphic or metafile files. Use the metafile format when you want to scale the image of the graph after exporting it.
5.Open a word processing document or spreadsheet and paste the image by right-clicking and choosing Paste, or by pressing ctrl-V.
