RE: cut and pasting charts

Hi Simon, Thank you for the post, To answer your question, the easiest way to move a chart to another location, in your workbook, (another sheet), into another program such as Word or PowerPoint; Open Excel and the Worksheet containing the chart;
To move the chart to another worksheet/workbook/program; Click in the Chart Area (you will see the resize/selected item markers appear) go to Menu command Edit>Cut or Copy, OR (CTRL+X or CTRL+C) navigate to the receiving sheet or open the receiving workbook or Program (Word or PowerPoint), click where you wish the chart to appear and press Edit>Paste OR (CTRL+V). This will create a graphic representation of the chart (a picture of it). You can then resize/reposition it. I hope that helps, if so please click the Resolved link, Best regards Pete

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
