Copy Excel Chart (including drawn objects) into Word
Hello,
I use Office 2000 and quite frequently copy charts from Excel into Word. Many of these charts include text boxes and arrows etc. that fall outside the border of the chart object. Is there a straight forward way of copying the chart and the additional drawn objects. At the moment I am grouping the objects prior to copying. -- Thanks in advance, MarkN |

Copy Excel Chart (including drawn objects) into Word
If you select the chart before clicking on the drawing tool, the drawn
objects will be encompassed in the chart, so you will not need to group them with the chart. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "MarkN" wrote in message ...

Copy Excel Chart (including drawn objects) into Word
Hi Jon,
Thanks for the response. I have found that selecting the chart works well but if you have an object that is partially outside the border of the shape then those objects don't copy and that is my main concern. -- Thanks, MarkN "Jon Peltier" wrote: If you select the chart before clicking on the drawing tool, the drawn objects will be encompassed in the chart, so you will not need to group them with the chart. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "MarkN" wrote in message ...

Select the chart, then hold shift while selecting the other object. Now do
your copy and paste. "MarkN" wrote in message ... Hi Jon, Thanks for the response.
