Whenever i try to paste a chart into word, im getting the following
EXCEL (not WORD) error message:

Excel: Sept-May_2.6.xlsx is already open.Reopening will cause any
changes you made to be discarded. Do you want to reopen Sept-
May_2.6.xlsx? OK

I click OK and nothing happens. I close the file. Make sure no other
files are open. Reopen the excel file. Try again, and boom -- same
message.

Any chance you can send me a sample file that you are experiencing problems
with?

unfortunately, i cant... there is too much confidential info, and
there's no easy way for me to go about changing it :(

if it helps, after i click "OK" and close the excel file, the window
closes like normal, but then another large window with a giant picture
of the graph is displayed... and then closes automatically shortly
thereafter.
