So I've committed the cardinal sin and not used Excel. Does anyone know how
to save the image of a pie chart created in MWS? I have done the entire
spreadsheet malarkey, but now someone has asked for a pie chart on the
e-mail I send out with a couple of tables, I haven't been able to provide.
It seems to be impossible to cut&paste the pie chart on it's own, or to send
as attachment or do anything with it other than look at it whilst having the
spreadsheet open :-(
I don't have excel so I can't use that to do the pie chart thing :-(

Click the print screen button? I think it's on the right of the f-number
keys that you never use. That copies the screen to the cipboard. then paste
it into your best imaging program, save (preferably compressed to .gif or
even .jpg or ultimately .any) and attach.

Any idea why my print screen button doesn't work? I mean it presses down
but doesn't save anything to the clipboard.

Not really that I have a good reason to use it but would turning one of
the services off do this?

You are pressing the shift key as well, right?

Yeah. I've tried with shift, without shift and even the ctrl button.

If I open MS Paint for instance, the option to paste is greyed out so
that's what got me thinking one of the services I'd turned off was
causing it, although I have just turn clipbook back on (bugger all use
on a standalone, I know) but that's not doing the bizzo either :-\
