Dear Paul,
It is useful to distinguish the way used to produce the figure and the
format under which it is transmitted to the journal for publication.
Excel can be of course use for the first aim for which it is dedicated but
not for the second as transfer to publication software can corrupt or change
the graph. It is the author's responsability to export the excel chart into
a format into which the graph cannot be changed and which is independant
from a table.
All the best,
Jean-Paul Liegeois
