Camera bug in 2007?

[Guest]

I'm using the camera feature in Excel 2007 and seeing what appear to be bugs.
I'm curious if anyone is seeing the same behavior:

* I take a picture of cells behind a chart on Tab 1 (effectively taking a
picture of the chart) and place the snapshot on Tab 2. When I change the
data for the source chart on Tab 1, the snapshot of the chart on Tab 2
doesn't change.
* When I do a print preview of the snapshot on Tab 2 and then close the
print preview, the source chart on Tab 1 vanishes - it flat out disappears.
* However, I can get the original chart on Tab 1 back by doing a print
preview of that tab and then closing the print preview.

Thanks,
Jeff

I've reproduced all your findings. A linked picture on another sheet does
not seem to update as it should. The only way I could get it to do so was
to edit the linking formula in the formula bar and click OK without making a
change. So better to copy and paste the chart than a picture of it, if that
will do.
