Charts to Image or Picture?

I'm clearly missing something obvious, but is there a way to do the
equivalent of copy and save charts as either values or image in the workbook?
I have a large worksheet that will get distributed enterprise-wide on a
regular basis, and I want to decrease the file size. The data source for the
20-25 charts is another worksheet in the file. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Have a look at Jon Peltier's information on de-linking chart data.

Cheers

RE: Charts to Image or Picture?

Try holding the shift key down then <file><copy as picture>
to further reduce the file size paste the picture back into an excel
document, right click on the picture, pull up the picture tool bar and push
the compress picture button (on mine it looks like a small picture with
arrows pushing in on it.) set your options an recopy the picture.
There are other ways to compress pictures. this is one I like cause I keep a
copy of what I sent out with the file.
