I cannot reproduce your problem. If you wish to send me a file, please get
my email addy from my website.
Meanwhile, try copying the chart as a picture. Click chart; on Home tab open
the Paste tool and select As Picture, choose As Shown on Screen; move to
Word and Paste.

best wishes

When I copy and paste a chart that does not have the chart area border
lines
on it (I didn't want them to show) only the left half shows. When I leave
the
chart area border lines there, it copies the entire chart. How can I get
it
to copy the entire chart from which I have removed the chart area border
lines? I use just plain old copy and plain old paste which work for me. (I
next change the text-wrapping format, but still, I need the entire chart.)
