WD97: Error "Word cannot edit the Microsoft Excel Chart" When Using DoVerb to Open Excel Chart ObjectID: Q235661
|
After you insert a Microsoft Excel Chart object into a Word 97 document and group it with an object such as a text box, the following error messages appear when you run a Visual Basic for Applications macro that uses the DoVerb method to open the Excel chart:
Word cannot edit the Microsoft Excel Chart
Run-time error "16389" Internal Error
Use the Open method instead of the DoVerb method to open the Excel object. For example, change the following code:
ActiveDocument.Shapes(1).GroupItems(1).OleFormat.DoVerb 2
to
ActiveDocument.Shapes(1).GroupItems(1).OleFormat.Open
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
