    Is a Mod testing us on the forum rules here?

    heres the question....
    https://www.excelforum.com/excel-gen...mf-or-emf.html

    and here's the 1st result you find when you google "excel graph to wmf"
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-to-wmf-or-emf

    The question is word for word exactly the same however the post on stackoverflow was made 9 year ago? There's an answer been supplied on SO so it can't be that the user has seen that question after searching and then came here to post it?

    Come on own up, who's testing us out?

    Hi pjwhitfield

    Not quite sure how you found that, but well done on your little find - it was most certainly not a test to weed out those who don't know the rules. It seems like a cross post, but with nearly 9 years between them.

    I suggest you answer the post by pointing them straight to where you found it as it's a word for word verbatim repeat, with a solution at stackoverflow, and I wouldn't want anyone to waste their time on it.

    This posting links thing is a grey area, but just use common sense. If you would rather I respond to it and post the link then say so
