Steve - I haven't even begun to try to automate this, I suspect that's a blind alley. That's what I was thinking too. @*#$^*&^. And also @*^&**^!!! But the manual process would be: Select the chart Edit Data (Chart Tools Design tab, or just right-click) In Excel, do a save-as Clean up this Excel file (remove any excess sheets, any excess data on the data sheet) Save and close the Excel file Back in PowerPoint: Insert tab Object From File browse to file saved above. Now you've got an OLE-cognizant Excel chart. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Steve Rindsberg" wrote in message ... If you keep using the approaches that work in Office 2003 & earlier, that is, you create the chart in Excel, then insert it into PowerPoint/Word as an Excel chart object, the result is an OLE object which VBA can manipulate. That provides some relief, but still leaves us out in the cold when presented with already-created presentations (as I suspect Bengt is forced to work with). Can you think of any way of converting an existing chart object to a file that can be reinserted as you describe? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
