If you're trying to copy and paste a chart as opposed to a range of 
cells, you should copy it as a "picture". Microsoft, in its infinite 
wisdom, has made it kind of obscure how to do this, so I'll tell you. 
Select the chart, then select the "edit" menu while holding down the 
"shift" key. That should reveal the "Copy Picture" menu item, which you 
should select. After copying, you should be able to paste in the usual 
way. LOL. --Tim
