When you paste an Excel chart that contains an embedded arrowhead to a Word document, the appearance of the arrowhead changes in Office XP and in Office 2003
When you paste a Microsoft Office Excel chart that contains an embedded arrowhead to a Microsoft Office Word document, the appearance of the arrowhead changes in Microsoft Office XP and in Microsoft Office 2003. The arrowhead is reduced from its original size. Also, the arrowhead line is displayed as a thicker line.
Note You may also notice that the same issue occurs when you paste the Excel chart into Microsoft Office Access and Microsoft Office PowerPoint.
This issue may occur if the arrowhead is directly inserted into the chart.
To work around this issue, follow these steps:
- Insert the arrowhead outside the chart. Then, move the arrowhead into the chart.
- Select both the chart and the arrowhead, and then group them.

- Select and then copy the chart. Then, paste it to the Word document.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
