- Embed images: allows the user to see the image when the Excel file is opened on another computer that does not have a network connection.
- Use live Excel charts or Use embedded bitmaps for the graph format.
- Live Excel charts ensure a smaller export size and integrate fully with Excel. However, they support fewer graph properties than Strategy does. The following graphs appear differently in Excel than in Strategy:
- All 3D graphs
- Box Plot
- Bubble
- Funnel
- Gantt
- Gauge
- Hi Low
- Histogram
- Horizontal Area
- Horizontal Bar
- Horizontal Line
- Embedded bitmaps includes all Strategy related graph properties.
These settings work together to determine how images are displayed in Excel.
- To display embedded graphs:
- Set Graph format to Use embedded bitmaps. The Embed images check box does not affect whether embedded graphs are displayed.
- To display live charts:
- Set Graph format to Use live Excel charts and clear the Embed images check box.
- To embed images other than graphs:
- Select the Embed images check box.
