Hi Caroline,
SPSS charts are currently the bane of my life! My problem with them is that they are really poor quality when copied across. Luckily I am only using box pots etc so they are pretty straightforward graphs and therefore I am duplicating them in Adobe Illustrator to a much better graphical standard.
Sorry - I don't have any alternative for you though. It would be so nice if different programs got along better!
