Pasting a chart from Excel 2007 to Word 2007 trouble

[Vegas]

This seems like it should be simple!! Why is half of my pie chart
disappearing when I try to paste it from excel to word? I have no idea of
what is going on. Any ideas? Thanks!

For me, the best way to paste a chart from Excel 2007 into Word is to select
the chart, choose Home | Paste | As Picture | Copy as Picture | etc., select
an insertion point in Word, and Edit | Paste. Try the various Copy as
Picture options to see which works best for you.

Thank you, Mike, for that oh-so-simple resolution. Sometimes the upgrades
are enough to make me long to downgrade. =)

In addition to Mike's suggestion, you should try to make the chart as close
to its finished state in Excel, particularly its size. The less you have to
mess with it in Word or another app, the less trouble you will have with it.

Do you know how to 'see' the resolution of a chart in Excel? I figured out
how to 'compress' a chart, pasted as a picture, but the compression is
reducing the resolution and the highest choice in Word is 220 dpi. thank you
for any insight you can provide. I just want 300 dpi charts.

In 2007 you don't need to copy a chart from Excel, just start in Word by
choosing Insert, Chart and when you pick a chart type and click OK you will
be constructing the chart in Excel but it will placed in Word at full
resolution, no copy and paste necessary.
