I have been working on an issue with Publisher 2007 and 3D graphs for a
while now.
I have been given different pieces of advice but ont thing remains...any 3D
graph appears to NOT be able to look even halfway decent.
I have used the exact same settings between Word and Publisher as far as
Font, Chart Type, rotation etc. and NONE of the prints out of Publisher look
even remotely good. They always have pixelated edges. Even at full page
size which I figured would cure it didn't work.

On the other hand, anything I do to a 3D graph in Word comes out nicely.
Different sizes, shapes, colors, rotations, resize UP, resize down...even to
the point of being ridiculous have clean crisp edges.

The only reason I'm chasing this issue is the company I'm consulting for has
100's of reports and documents in Publisher 2007.
This didn't seem to be an issue in previous versions...and all thought that
going to 2007 would only INCREASE the quality.
On the contrary, there has been a marked DECREASE in at least the quality of
this particualr element.

Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

I don't do charts much in Publisher, but if I insert a Microsoft Excel chart or
Microsoft graph from the insert, object menu, I can ungroup, apply 3D and it
prints pixel-free edges.

Can you send me one of your charts? Maybe I can see what you are doing
differently than what I do.
