I'm building an Office Application including Excel using Office 2000
Professional running under XP Pro (SP2)

I have embedded several Excel tables and associated graphs in a Word
document using VBA. The problem is that a number of surplus table rows are
appended after each graph in Word, causing unnecessary page breaks in Word,
which then have 2B manually deleted.

Each table and graph is assigned a range name in Excel. The range definition
covers the table and the graph completely which I think is causing the
problem. Does anyone know of a "clean" way to pluck out Excel tables and
graphs for embedding into Word without all those surplus table rows? eg. Is
it possible to just plug the graph into Word from Excel using VBA?

You can save Excel charts as pictures and then include the pictures in Word:
but then, the Word copy becomes static i.e will not change if the Excel chart
changes. Is this wht you want?

This sort of happens now. I've automated Word 2000 to copy the table and the
graph from an Excel named range, into Word. This works ok, except that the
table and the graph now in a Word table give some extra rows I don't want. I
just wondered if there was some way to eliminate the extra rows from the
Excel source being copied. I tried restricting the copied range to the Excel
table and the a couple of rows that overlap the chart. Doesn't work. The
system forces me select the entire range.


Thanks

Right click on the chart, click chart options, then Data Table and select
Show Data Table.

This will include the data you have usedto plot the chart within the
chart/picture. If you simply copies this picture in Word, would you still get
the extra rows?

Look up the responses to your post from yesterday.
