The information in this article applies to:
When you use the Copy Picture command to paste a pie chart from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Word, the data in your chart will be represented in four equal parts regardless of how the data in the original chart was distributed.
This problem occurs if you create a pie chart in Microsoft Excel and use the Copy Picture command to paste it to a Microsoft Word document and then go to MSDraw by double-clicking the chart in Microsoft Word.
To work around this problem, use the either of the following methods.
Method 1: Use the following steps to paste the pie chart into Microsoft
Word as an Embedded Object (note that if you use this workaround,
you cannot add drawing objects to your chart):
a. Create a pie chart in Microsoft Excel.
b. Click once on the chart. Choose Edit from the menu bar and
then choose Copy.
c. Switch to Microsoft Word and choose Edit and then choose Paste
Special. Select Microsoft Excel 5.0 Chart Object.
Microsoft Word allows you to edit the chart as if you were in
Microsoft Excel.
as a Bitmap:
a. Create your chart in Microsoft Excel.
b. Click the pie chart once to select it. While holding the shift
key down, click the Copy Picture on the Edit menu.
The Copy Picture dialog box will appear.
c. For the Appearance option, select As Shown On Screen. For the
Format option, select Bitmap.
d. Switch to Microsoft Word. Click Paste on the Edit menu.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base when it becomes available.
