Default Problem with copying chart using VBA

Hi,

I'm copying a chart sheet from one workbook (an add-in) to another
workbook, but the chart in the new workbook looks slightly different:

1) The axis titles are missing.
2) I have a lot of text boxes on the chart, now they all moved.

I used the following code in the new workbook to copy the sheet:

Sub Plot()
If SheetExists("Diagram") = False Then
Workbooks("All-data.xla").Worksheets("Diagram").Copy
Befo=ActiveSheet
End If
PlotNewDiagram 'adding more curves to the existing chart
End Sub

What have gone wrong? How can I prevent the above? I can fix problem
#(1) by re-defining the axis titles in the code, but I really don't
know how to deal with with the relocated text boxes. Those texts were
used to annotate existing curves on the chart. With their locations
changed, they no longer make senses.

I'm grateful for any suggestions!

Charles
