Hi Alex

If you can just see the bottom of the object, it sounds like you have pasted
the chart into a paragraph which has line spacing set to an exact
measurement. If Word thinks this paragraph is supposed to be, say, 12pt
high, then it will keep it 12pt high, even though you have a page-high chart
in it. So, make sure that the paragraph into which you paste has line
spacing set to Single.

Alternatively, try pasting using Edit Paste Special Picture (Enhanced
Metafile).

Hope this helps.

Hello

I have encountered a problem with Word which has puzzled me.

Quite often I create a table or chart in excel and then copy and paste in
to
Word. I use copypaste specialMicrosoft Excel Chart Object or
Microsoft
Excel Worksheet Object.

When I use Excel 97 to paste into Word 97 then I cna do this no problem.
However, if i use 2000, the object doen't appear correctly in Word. Often
i
can just see the bottom of the object and it resists resizing or dragging
so
that it canbe viewed.

Is there something I am missing with later versions of Word / Excel that
is
causing the problem?

I'd appreciate any help on this matter.

Regards


Alex
