Copy and paste Excel chart in Word -- font compresses
A coworker and I are having problems with some Excel charts she pastes into a
Word document. Any Excel chart she pastes will appear with all text compressed--an Arial font *looks* like Arial Narrow, except that the character spacing matches the spacing of the normal Arial font, and both programs claim that the font is still Arial. We've tried a few different options: - paste (ctrl-v). - paste special: picture. - paste special: Excel chart object. - paste the object into PowerPoint - change the font and then paste into Word. In all cases, the font is compressed. However, I've used the same files on my machine and haven't had a problem. And what I find most odd is that if she pastes the chart as an Excel object and sends the Word file to me, I can open the file on my machine, open the Excel object, not change anything, but close the object, and the font "snaps" to normal. We are both using Office Professional Edition 2003 on PCs. SP2. Our goal is for her to be able to paste charts in Word from Excel either as a picture or as an object and have the font look and print normally. Any suggestions would be appreciated! |

Try "Paste Special" and choose "picture". This avoids all the wackiness

Copy and paste Excel chart in Word -- font compresses
Thanks for the suggestion, but it's actually one of the options I listed as a
method we tried. #2 on my list below. I was pretty surprised that it didn't work. "renegade-27" wrote: Try "Paste Special" and choose "picture".

ScooterGirl -
Try this: Format the chart the way you like it in Excel (embedded on the worksheet). Select the chart (by clicking just inside its outer border). Hold down the Shift key, and from Excel's menu bar choose Edit | Copy Picture. Try one of the options on Excel's Copy Picture dialog box. Switch to Word, and choose Edit | Paste. If you don't like the results, try a different option on Excel's Copy Picture dialog box. - Mike www.mikemiddleton.com "ScooterGirl" wrote in message ...
