Hi,

That behavior would suggest the textbox is not embedded in the chart but
just placed over it. Can you move the textbox away from the chart?
If yes then delete the textbox and then select the chart and paste.

Cheers
Andy

in the spreadsheet? This never used to happen before, but only recently has
begun occuring with our graphs. Thanks!
