Hi I am making a 'science fair' type poster using publisher 2013, and I am struggling to insert and manipulate charts from Excel 2013. I have a couple of problems, and I will detail the steps I've taken and what I've observed: So in Excel, I right-click the graph and click 'copy' ( ) Then I right click in Publisher and click 'paste' Problem 1, the main problem, is it pastes it as a low quality image. When I print to a printer or to a PDF, the image comes out like a low-res bitmap, a bit blurry and not suitable for a poster: ( ) In publisher 2010, it would just let me paste it as a graph, in the same way that I can paste a graph into Word 2013 and edit it in situ. It would stay as a vector and could be enlarged and manipulated indefinitely without losing quality.

Problem 2 is, the graph is much too big on the page. I can re-size it to a better size by dragging the handles: ( ) The problem is once I've resized it, it's stuck at that size. Since the chart is resized as an image, all the titles etc shrink to an unreadable size. I can double-click the picture to 'activate' it in excel, but it then resizes the plot area in accordance with its new dimensions, which in my case makes it so small you can't read it: ( ) Can anybody help?

Many thanks Laurie. Hi I am making a 'science fair' type poster using publisher 2013, and I am struggling to insert and manipulate charts from Excel 2013.

Many thanks Laurie First of all, may I compliment you on how well you presented and documented your problem and question.

If other posters would take the time to offer even some of the detail you did, it would make the job of helping soooo much easier. Unfortunately you are experiencing a 'bug' with Pub 2013. Here is one thread discussing the issue: Publisher 2013 - Print and PDF Quality issue for embedded Excel: At this point there isn't a great solution from MSFT.

While we wait, I would suggest that you save your Excel graphs as.png files directly from Excel to your local computer, and then insert them as pictures rather than Excel objects. You can save your png files as high as 300 ppi and thus get a better result when you insert them into the Publisher page. The PNG file will also scale better for your second question. Granted this will take more steps and longer to update the graphs, but at least the resolution will be better.

You can easily add a chart to a Word document, without first creating the chart in Excel. That's right, you don't have to be familiar with Excel to display a decent chart in a Word document-and it's easy! First, position the cursor where you want to insert the chart. Most likely, that will be before or after a paragraph that discusses the information expressed by the chart. Then, you're ready to create the chart, as follows:. Click the Insert tab and then click the Chart option in the Illustrations group. In Word 2003, choose Picture from the Insert menu and then select Chart.

In the Insert Chart dialog, choose Pie in the left pane. (In Word 2003, you'll select a chart type after inserting the chart into the document. Right-click the chart and choose Chart Type to access the different types. Skip to step 5.). Choose one of the pie charts to the right (we'll use the first). Click OK and Word will launch an Excel sheet with sample data. Insert new labels and values in the Excel sheet and watch the chart in the Word document update accordingly.

Be sure to resize the data range as instructed. When you're done entering the labels and values, close the Excel sheet. You can save it if you like, but you don't have to. With the chart in Word, you can format it. For instance, you can remove the border or change its style or shade the background. Right-click the chart's background and choose Format Chart Area from the resulting shortcut menu.

To format the series, right-click the chart and choose Format Data Series. If the legend displays an empty series, you probably didn't resize the data range (step 5). Simply click the empty element and press Delete to get rid of it. Although we created a pie chart, you can insert any number of chart types. Related Topics.
