Copying pie chart out of OWC11 Interactive chart

[nichachr]

I'm trying to find a way to allow people to copy / paste a chart out o
a OWC11 chart that I'm building with perl. Are there options I shoul
be specifying to allow this? Copying / exporting the data is usefu
but the design is to avoid them having to recreate the charts.

Here is a sample of the problem:

The data can be copied / exported w/o a problem but not the char
itself.

Thanks!

I'd suggest you read up on licensing before you go providing that type of
functionality. That website is in direct violation of Microsoft's end-user
licensing agreement.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll do some reading. The design was t
provide to to a limited internal audience all with Office and the we
components all installed so I wasn't aware there'd be licensin
issues.

No the internal implementation is most likely fine, however, this particular
link you provided is not.

Is there a tangible answer to the original question asked in this post?

Beyond the licensing issues, is there a way to copy/export OWC charts into
another application (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)?

I appreciate your help.

Nope, not that I know of. But in any case, it doesn't really make sense to
copy the object - it's not efficient. Copy the data and recreate the object
on the other side of the fence.

What if a program manager is using business scorecard manager to view
scorecard data, and multiple supporting owc charts (generated dynamically)
and he needs to export the chart to powerpoint to show at his executives
meeting? What is he supposed to do?

A Pivot Table allows you to copy selected cells within the owc, why not copy
a Pivot Chart?
