Hi,
A few hours ago, on our church office PC, I easily copied/pasted a
Quattro Pro chart into a new 5x7 PP12 image, and within minutes had
myself a nice bitmap for use in a sermon presentation.
Now, on my home PC, the same method results in an image that has its
title and subtitle in proper position, but all you can see of the chart
itself is the Y-axis titles and something (not sure what) skrunched
together off the right edge of the PP12 image, about 4/5 of the way down
the edge. No manner of moving or reshaping the pasted figure or the PP12
image window affects the result.
Any idea why I had success in one installation, and not in the other?
Both installations of QP and PP are fully patched. The only difference I
can see is that the paste that worked was of a chart that's a few years
old, whereas the chart that does not work is from a new spreadsheet
created today.
Any help would...help. <g>

Does Quattro have an export or save to raster (BMP, TIFF) feature? As you
found out, copy and paste doesn't always work as intended.

To Matt: I don't know about exporting charts to raster formats. I don't
see an obvious way to do so, but more experienced QP people will have to
address your question.
To Roy: QP version 12.0.0.602/
To you both: Thanks for responding.

A utility that may be of help is FastStone Capture (freeware) which is
a screen capture utility. It has an excellent scroll-down capture
capability. It will only capture the screen width but if your
spreadsheet is slightly wider, you could temporarily change the screen
resolution (of your graphics card) to fit it in.
If copying a spreadsheet make sure the bottom is not too far down.
The utility will scroll down forever. I've made captures of my web
pages which were at least 1024x8000 pixels.
