Pasting an excel chart with fill effects into word (both 2002 SP-2 versions)

[G]

I am having problems copying/pasting excel charts into a
word document. The problem is this. I copy an excel
chart to the clipboard. I then open the word document
and paste the contents of the clipboard into the word
document. I use "Edit - Paste Special - Bitmap" This
pastes the excel chart into a table cell in the word
document (which I manually resize at a later time), but
the problem is that I lose all of the color attributes
(the chart converts from color to black&white). Why
can't I paste a color object into word?

I noticed that if I return to the excel chart, and remove
the fill effects from the bar charts (making the bar
charts a solid color), I am able to copy/paste the chart
into word and have the chart maintain its color.

G,

I can't reproduce your problem. I'm using XLXP, WordXP, and WinXP. I've
pasted (paste special) using Picture, Drawing Object, and Enhanced Metafile.
Also, Excel object. The gradients, patterns, and textures I used in the
chart paste into Word, and print preview correctly.
