SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word 97, when you paste grouped items, including a chart
object created in Microsoft Excel 97, the chart is missing.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, in Excel, select and copy the chart and the
other items (a text box in this example) without grouping them. Then paste
the objects into Word and group them there. To do this, follow these steps:
- In Excel, select the text box, and then press and hold down the SHIFT key and select the chart.
Both objects should be selected.
- On the Edit menu, click Copy.
- In Word, click Paste on the Edit menu.
- Right-click the selected objects, point to Grouping, and then click
Group.
STATUS

listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem has been corrected in Word 2000.
