Mac Forum / Applications / Word / April 2006Problem Pasting Excel Charts in Word
I'm using Office 2004 on a MacBook. I have small charts in Excel that are oriented side-by-side. When I want to place these charts in Word I select them, choose copy, go into Word and do Paste Special, choose Picture. The result is always that the left-hand chart displays and prints, but the right-hand chart will neither display or print. To make matters even more strange, when I select the pasted charts in Word I can see the graphics handlebars outlining the area where the right-hand chart should be. This problem happens whether or not the charts are grouped in Excel before copying. My workaround has been to select the charts and save as PIC files and inserting in Word, but I literally have dozens of these chart pairs and that process is time consuming and a pain. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Can anyone replicate small side-by-side charts and paste in Word as pic to see what happens? Please help. One thing I can think of that might cause this is how much space there is between the 2 charts in XL. Since you're selecting 2 @ a time, the space between them is also being pasted in and the separate charts with the space between are being pasted as *1* picture. What you aren't seeing is the portion that overruns the edge of the page. That gray space isn't work area, so Word can't display what extends out there, so it has no choice but to 'lop it off'. Can you move the charts closer together in XL - even for just a temporary measure?  SignatureHTH|:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac > I'm using Office 2004 on a MacBook.
