Chart from excel into Word

Hello everybody :-)
I have a question for you.

I'm working with office 2007 and I've created few charts in excel like e.g. the one in attachment

Isn't it beautiful btw, ha ha ha :-D

Any ways, if select the chart in excel and copy+past into word I always get the bottom line of the chart border slimmer then the other 3. like if 1 line of pixels was missing.

You may have to paste the image in attachment into a blank word document to see what I mean.
I suspect this to be an excel problem more then Word as if I paste the chart from the clipboard into e.g. GIMP or Paint I still get the bttom line misbehaving. Naughty like :-D

Any help on how to sort this out?

Cheerio
your friend

For me Copy+Paste create a excel chart object in Word.

In Word you can use the PasteSpecial to paste various image types. All of which for me at least return non cropped images.

Do you have SP2 installed?

Yes SP2 is installed. Using Paste special does the trick! Thanks I will do this way.

Just for reference: If I add the chart with copy + paste (normal paste) it works absolutely fine unless I create a chart with rouded corners!
So the rounded corners seem to generate the problem.
Is this happening to you too guys?
