Inserting Graphics Help please!

Post by studeacon »

Hi, this is my first post on here and I am relatively inexperienced with LaTex.
I am writing a document and wish to insert a graph into it. I made this graph in Excel 2007. Can somebody please run through step by step how I can get this into a LaTex document as every time I try I get an error message saying file not found.

Also I am not fussed whether the document I end up with is a DVI or PDF as its for personal use.

Thanks
Stuart

A good starting point are the TeX FAQ [1].The FAQ also deal with your issue in special sections [2,3]. Many other questions are answered in this very comprehensive collection. This should help you at the first steps. Graphics inclusion nowadays is based on the graphicx package. You can find this and other packages on CTAN.
