When you print a worksheet, Excel will print 
whatever is in or embedded in that worksheet 
(including charts). This makes it easy and 
convenient to print both the chart and its  
underlying data. All you need to do is to position 
the chart in the appropriate location then access 
the print commands in the usual way.
