Pasting from Excel to Word

[Dion Harris]

I am attempting to paste a chart from Excel to Word. I usually do so
by importing as a picture. However, I always draw my charts in
landscape in excel. To transfer this to word, I usually change the
word page to landscape also. Unfortunately my header also goes into
landscape - but I want the page to APPEAR to be portrait (that is the
header to appear correct for a portrait page) and yet the chart to
appear as a landscape. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Cheers

Dion

If you've pasted the chart as a bitmap, you can just rotate it 90 degrees
(Draw>Rotate or Flip on the Drawing toolbar), thus keeping the page as
portrait.

Thanks for the response, I tried your tactic but when I tried the flip
rotate toolbar it was all shaded out (i.e. not available). I am by no
means terrible at using word, but surely there can be a way, perhaps
of having a page landscape but the header as a portrait? Is there?

Make sure that you have the bitmap selected, and not the drawing canvas
around it.
