Copy Picture in Excel 2007

[Bob Myers]

In Excel 2003, the Copy Picture function gave you the choice of 2 Formats:
Picture and Bitmap.

I need the Bitmap Format and can't seem to find it in Excel 2007. If it is
still there, where is it?

Respectfully submitted,
Bob Myers

You may copy the picture with copy in the Clipboard group on the Home
ribbon. When you paste, select paste special and select the bitmap format.

I usually use "As shown on screen, Picture," not bitmap.

But, for Excel 2007, many users report unsatisfactory images, especially
with charts. For one relevant thread, see
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.excel.charting/browse_thread/thread/4e0a6b6daf84201b
In that thread, see Jon Peltier's post of March 23 and Adrienne's post of
May 2, among others.

Mike, thanks again for the help. I tried Adrienne's method and played around
with it for a while. The picture looks pretty good, but it looks like it
will take some effort before it will be useable in Dreamweaver -- if ever.
What I've learned is others are having the same problem I am having. Ah,
those boys in Redmond...

I have found a solution, though. I work the spreadsheet on my computer.
When it's ready, I copy the workbook on to a thumb drive, walk it across the
room, and load it into my wife's computer. Since she's still running Excel
2003, the output bitmap files it generates will readily upload into
Dreamweaver.

I also tried uninstalling 2007, and reinstalling 2003. Although it loaded a
lot of files, the installation would not (for some inexplicable reason)
complete. Hence, I seem to be stuck with 2007, and she with 2003 (at least
she better be, if she knows what's good for her).

Sorry about the email.

R/Bob
