I don't think so. The two objects refer to different file formats, so I
doubt there's a simple one-to-one switch. I suppose the .12 object could be
opened in the .8 application, and the contents of the object re-embedded as
a .8 object. Sounds flaky and tedious.

Jon,

Can I change Excel.Sheet.12 to Excel.Sheet.8 programmatically? If so,
how?

Thanks,
Barb

I'm not sure there's a less elaborate way to do this than move the data
into
Excel, recreate the chart, remove the MS Graph object, and replace it
with
the new Excel chart. And use an Excel 8 chart, because even though an
Excel
12 chart supposedly interconnects better with Excel and PowerPoint, there
is
no VBA access to an Excel 2007 chart in another Office 2007 application.

I have a PowerPoint presentation that has the following embedded
objects.

Excel.Chart.8
Excel.Sheet.12
Excel.Sheet.8
MSGraph.Chart.8

I'm cross-posting this to a PowerPoint group and an Excel group since
I'm
thinking people in both groups may have dealt with this.

I'm thinking it would be easier for users who have to update this
presentation to only have to deal with one type of data entry. I've
found
that there is no way to programmatically convert the MSGraph.Chart.8
objects
to anything but MSGraph.Chart.8 objects. (Helpful, huh?). I see I
can
manually convert Excel.Sheet.8 to Excel.Sheet.12. Is there some way
to
do
this programmatically?

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt
