Further to my unwavering love and devotion of microsoft office, I find the "drawing" toolbar is pretty handy (in word, ppt) for graphs such as what you linked, but in which case they aren't actually a plot of anything, but just a drawing. Nonetheless, I my first response, looking at the graph you linked, would be to quickly enter three series of data points, plotting 2 of them linearly and the third a first order, but it would take a minute of trial and error manipulating the data to achive the appearance I wanted and I wouldn't know the easiet way to add the "Q1" line.
Off the top of my head I don't know the best way to draw curved lines easily in an office application. I was required to gain basic competance in autocad, which I fall back on for anything that is remotely involved. I think I could do a simple line drawing quicker in autocad than I could manipulate excel data as needed.
