Copy Charts from Excel to Word
I have a 'Summary' sheet that has a drop down list of names of plots (i.e.
Plot 1, Plot 2, Plot 3, etc.). A corresponding tab named Plot changes based on the plot name listed in the drop down box. (i.e. if you select Plot 3 in the drop down list, Plot 3 appears on the Plot tab). There are 60 plots in the drop down list. I want to copy all 60 plots to a document in Word and size them such they are about 4" tall. Manually, I could choose plot in the drop down, click on the Plot tab and copy and paste and do this 60 times. Hopefully there is an easier way??? Thanks! |

There are different ways the current spreadsheet might be working to implement the drop down box. To approach your question, let's ask, "where's the text of the different plots now?" In the spreadsheet itself (maybe hidden)? In other documents? |

Copy Charts from Excel to Word
On the Summary sheet, in cell A2, I have a Data Validation List of the Plot
names. In columns B:M, I have the data corresponding to whatever plot was chosen in the drop down. The data changes depending on which plot you choose in the drop down. The Plot tab then gets the data from the Summary sheet and changes depending on which plot is selected in cell A2.

The Plot tab then gets the data from the Summary sheet and changes depending on which plot is selected in cell A2. Maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds sufficient to copy B:M into Word. First, though, make a column out of them (rather than a row) by using Edit Copy and then in a temporary scratch place using Edit Paste Special Transpose Then copy the Excel column, go to a new empty Word document and use Edit Paste The result is a table in Word. Pointing somewhere in the table and using Table Select Table Table Table properties can customize the appearance as needed. |
