help with debugging: subscript out of range error

S

Stephen Moon

Hello,

I have the following VBA script, but I have a problem running this one
because
I get "subscript out of range" error when I try to copy and paste the
excel chart to word. If you can help me to debug this program, I will
very much appreciate.
