Please help! I am trying to copy Excel charts (graphs) as pictures into a
Word document. The Excel macro works fine, but the Word macro fails. The
Excel macro merely copies the chart and then calls the Word macro to do the
pasteing. In the word macro, I can paste the chart into the document, but it
pastes it in as an Excel chart. I want to paste it in as a picture.
My Excel macro and 3 versions of my Word macro are below. Version A of
the Word macro works fine, but copies the entire chart. Version B pastes as
a picture, but eliminates all the colors in my chart. Version C doesnâ??t work
at all.
Can someone suggest a better way to make the macro do what I want it to do?
Thanks, Jim Benet
