Thread: saving a chart

When I make an excel chart, and save it, then try to later retrieve it, I
get back to the spreadsheet and have to start over with a new chart. Can you
save a chart with the properties you selected for the chart intact? The only
way around this so far is to copy the chart to the clipboard and then open
in an image program I am using PAINT for that.

What version of Excel are you using?
I do not have this problem.
