Change an Excel Chart to a Graphic
Pasting an Excel chart as a graphic is a good option if you’re sure the data will never change. You can add such a graphic into a PowerPoint presentation or Microsoft Word document.
A chart pasted as a graphic can be moved and resized. When you double-click a chart graphic, the Microsoft Office picture-editing tools and settings become available. Your chart is now a graphic - any connection to Excel is gone.
If you just need a graphic of an Excel chart, you can use a great shortcut:
- In Excel, click once on the chart to select it.
- Hold down the Shift key.
- Choose Edit, Copy Picture to copy the chart as a picture.
When you select Copy Picture from the menu, the Copy Picture dialog box appears. You can select how the chart should be copied.
- Paste into PowerPoint, Word, or any other program.
