Ah, how times have changed.  When 1-2-3 first came out, people thought that
its built-in graphics were just wonderful.  Now we think (entirely reasonably)
that they stink.  I have two suggestions.  The first is to take the .PIC
file produced by 1-2-3 and feed it into a graphics program such as Freelance.
The other is to forget about 1-2-3 and use PC Excel which has much better
graphics, and can be persuaded to read 1-2-3 worksheets without too much
trouble.
