What exactly excel do when copying worksheets?
 

When I was copying some worksheets from one workbook to another, which
contains a lot of graphs. I found out that I can only copy 7 sheets with
graph, the 8th one was copied but no graph was copied over.

And if I save the workbook that I just added several sheets with graphs, I
can't reopen it within the same excel. I have to close Excel and reopen
another one to open it without causing serious error.

My question is, what exactly excel does when I was copying worksheets from
one workbook to another? Obviously it is clipboard. What else is happening?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your suggestion.

But looks like it doesn't work for me.

My Excel version is 2002. I tried to turn off the AutoCharFontScaling in
Regedit. And also, in my Macro, I tune off the AutoScaleFont every time I
made a copy of a worksheet which has Chart Objects.

I still have the same problem. The first 7 worksheets are copied over
perfectly fine. The last one is copied over without any Charts. And the bad
thing is it doesn't give me any error message. Except that I can't open the
workbook in Excel anymore. It can't even recover. I have to close my Excel
and reopen Excel to open the workbook that I just created. At that time. I
can copy the 8th worksheet with Charts to it without any problem.

Any other possibilities? Thanks a lot!

Another weird thing is:

When I was trying to create a new sheet and use copy paste. Then the Charts
are all copied into the new workbook without any problem.

Now the new problem with the 8th worksheet is: Nothing is copied over except
those Charts!

Any hint? Thanks!

Two things...
Do some searching in the Microsoft knowledge base for the problem.
Try posting in the excel.charting group.

Thanks a lot! I will try to pose in Excel.Chart to see if I can get anything
from there.
