Chart textbox

Hi,

I have some formatted text (bold, italic etc) in a cell and want to copy it into an ActiveChart textbox and maintain the formatting that was in the cell. I can copy the cell contents and formatting using PasteSpecial xlPasteAll into another cell but any ideas how I can paste it into a chart textbox with the formatting?
I just don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Thanks
Karen

RE: Chart textbox

Hi Karen

Thanks for getting in touch. I've researched your problem but not been able to find a way round it. You could copy the cell then Paste As Picture but that might not work for you.

It's not much help to you now but Microsoft has fixed it for Excel 2010 onwards.

Kind regards
