Inserting Pix Into Chart
 

This should be easy...so I know I'm doing something stupid, but I just can't
figure it out.

I want to simply add our company logo to a an excel chart. Copy the chart
and paste it into a Word document.

While in Excel, I insert our logo into the chart. Resize it, position it,
etc. etc. etc.

However, when I click on the chart to copy it, the logo disappears. If I
click outside of the chart (on an empty cell for example), the logo reappears.

What am I doing wrong???

Use the "select" arrow at the lower left corner of screen (this is part
of the drawing toolbar, so make sure you View-Toolbars-Drawing
first). Click on the arrow that looks like your cursor arrow (it's
just to the right of the "Draw" drop-down menu). Use this to select
your chart (hold down the mouse and drag as if you're highlighting
text). Then copy-paste. This selects everything in the area, so it
will copy your logo with the chart.

Copy the logo, select the chart, and then paste. If the chart isn't
selected, you're just pasting the logo in the sheet, but not associating
it with the chart.

Thanks. I knew it had to be something stupid I was doing. You were right.
I was pasting it into the spreadsheet and not the chart. Duh. Thanks again.
