How do I copy a chart *exactly* as it is (same fonts, colors, dat
range, titles etc) to another worksheet in another workbook. I ca
easily enough open a workbook and a particular worksheet, but when
copy and paste the chart the axes font size changes.

'The following is the code I use to copy the active chart to anothe
workbook, and paste it at position A3
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Activate 'Chart to copy
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
Workbooks("ChartBook.xls").Worksheets("A").Paste
Workbooks("ChartBook.xls").Worksheets("A").ChartObjects(1).Left
Workbooks("ChartBook.xls").Worksheets("A").Range("A3").Left
Workbooks("ChartBook.xls").Worksheets("A").ChartObjects(1).Top
Workbooks("ChartBook.xls").Worksheets("A").Range("A3").Top
ActiveSheet.Activat

Right click your sheet containing the chart.
Click the move command.
Select the workbook u want to move your chart to and move it

Thanks for your help anurag.d.

I actually want to copy and paste the chart using a vba macro (as th
code I attached suggests). I generate a chart in one worksheet, forma
the axes, colors etc and then want to copy this active chart to anothe
worksheet in a different workbook. I have tried copying and pasting th
chart to the same worksheet, and here the fonts change also.

Is this the correct method for copying the chart in the first place, o
is there a better way?

ACTIVECHART.CHARTAREA.SELEC
*ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy*

Is this the correct way to paste the chart?

*Workbooks("ChartBook.xls").Worksheets("A").Paste

I suppose I could place all of the formating code I perform for the
original chart (the one I want to copy) into a function, and then call
this function again for the chart I paste into the other worksheet.
However, to do this I would like to pass the chart object as a
parameter. How could I do this? Or should I just set the chart to
format as activechart, format, and then activate the original worksheet
again.

It would be fantastic if someone could help me out with this one.
