Pasting Graphs - making me crazy!

[BankC]

Hey Everyone,

I have some graphs in one workbook that I would like to paste into
new workbook. When I paste them, the size of the graph changes as doe
the size of all the fonts and then when I go back to the original graph
that has changed too! It is soooo frustrating and wasting heaps of tim
to get them looking as they should.

I am simply copying and pasting the graphs. Is there any way that
can just get the graphs to paste the same as the original and have th
original graph to stay the same?

I am also having this problem when I paste graphs into Powerpoint.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Bank

The simplest way is to copy and paste as a picture.

Select the area surrounding the graph or chart and, while holding down the
SHIFT key pull-down:

Edit > Copy Picture

In PowerPoint, just paste. Because the result is just a picture it can be
moved or re-sized like any other picture.


In the Excel copy, experiment with whether bitmapped or picture gives you
the best results.
