Thumbs up Answer: My charts are copied into Word in black and white instead of colou

Hi Feroni,

It sounds like a frustrating issue, but I'm here to help you resolve it. Based on the information you provided, it seems like the issue is related to your user account settings. Here are some steps you can take to try and fix the problem:
  1. Open Excel and go to File Options Advanced.
  2. Scroll down to the Display section and make sure the "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" option is checked.
  3. Click OK to save the changes and close Excel.
  4. Open Word and try pasting the chart again to see if it appears in color.

If that doesn't work, you can try the following steps:
  1. Open Excel and go to File Options Trust Center Trust Center Settings.
  2. Go to the Protected View tab and uncheck all the options.
  3. Click OK to save the changes and close Excel.
  4. Open Word and try pasting the chart again to see if it appears in color.

If neither of these solutions work, you can try resetting the Excel settings to their default values:
  1. Close all Office applications.
  2. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  3. Type "excel.exe /reset" (without quotes) and press Enter.
  4. Open Excel and try copying the chart again.

I hope one of these solutions works for you.
