Folks,

I am an avid Improv user, but I've had lots of problems with Presentation  
Builder trying to do what I call standard business graphics (scatter charts,  
bar charts, line charts). Two general problems:

1. Artificial but rigid limit of 1500 data points for any series!
2. The pure freedom of display postscript, resizing, reshaping, etc. has a  
downside effect in Improv of not allowing me to create standard templates. In  
other words, it's fine and good to let me resize anything I want, but an awful  
pain in the butt when I'm trying to get 10 charts to format to the same size  
with different data.

I'm considering (eek) Wingz, a more conventional spreadsheet with perhaps more  
conventional graphics. Even if it gets me past my 1500 data point ceiling it  
will be worth it.

Any advise?
