for my bio report, i want to draw a graph using the comp as shown in the attached file. however,
[1] the graphing program in word puts the labels for the axes between the markers and not under (i want them like in the diagram, circled in red) and
[2] i dont know how to put two graphs with a common axis on one graph.

i use MSWord 2000.
Any suggestions? or does anyone know of any programs/sites where i can draw graphs?

Winston told me to, but I don't use it so I don't really get what's going on

erm ok, well basically you work in columns
in the first column going down, put down the y values
and then in the 2nd column, put down the y values of your next graph

and then highlight all the cells with numbers in it, and click on the graph tool

and then select line graph, column, and it tells you to put in the labels for the axis

ok its a good idea, but i dont get how to change it so that there's 2 y axes?

1st column is x-axis
2nd and 3rd are y-axes

HEY! i found out how to do it!!!!
ok highlight your column 2 and 3 (you don't put values that go along the axis in excel)
ok go to the graph tool, and then click on the 2nd tab (i have excel in a different language, but it should say something along the lines of 'customize')
and then choose the 3rd last one

...except you're going to have to change the x axis from 1 to 0.01, 2 to 0.02.. so forth
i'm not sure how to change the x values
