Excel charts become blury when pasted...help?

Hi,
I am using CS4 on Windows 7.
I am putting together a report which requires me to insert Excel charts into my InDesign document.
I am having a problem...when I "paste" the copied chart over into InDesign, parts of the chart look pixelated and fuzzy/blury.
I have tried various things such as making the chart bigger and smaller then pasting, it seems to get worse. I also tried just doing a screenshot of my chart then making it into a JPG in Photoshop and placing that. It worked very well with one chart, but all the others are even worse than when I just paste.
Does anyone know of this problem? I want this preentation to look really professional, and fuzzy lines around my bar chart just won't do!
Please help??
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions guys
Well, I tried making it a lot larger in excel and then doing the copy/paste. The graphic itself came out nice and crisp, but the text on the axis i now so tiny you cannot read it, nor the text in the legend. Getting frustrated!
I also tried the copy/paste into Illustrator and save out as a .AI file then file>place. This came out with very rough edges and looking awful. I don't use AI and really don't know what I am doing so I could be doing it wrong.
Sigh.....it seems SO simple, very frustrating!
Any suggestion to remedy this?
Thanks a million!

Excel chart alignment problems when creating PDF

My excel chart is off set on my PDF page after creating PDF from Macro. The chart is within my print areas in excel and no matter where I position the chart in excel the chart shows up like it is indented on the PDF and runs off the page. I can print from excel and the results are fine. I am operating a windows 2007 64 bit machine with excel 2007 and ADOBE Acrobat 9 Pro & Adobe Reader X.
I am running the following code by Ron de Bruin to generate the PDF
Myvar.ExportAsFixedFormat _
   Type:=xlTypePDF, _
   FileName:=Fname, _
   Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
   IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
   IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=OpenPDFAfterPublish
No matter what I do I can not get the chart completely in the page through VBA. The VBA code works fine it is the results of the PDF I can't seem to fix.
Many thanks for any help.

Hi,
     I tried to do the same with a Excel having a so much content. I tried to print that file into a PDF file, I saw the output file as expected. I think there might be some different settings in your PDF printer. Can you please send me the screenshot of PDF Printer Dialog Box launched after invoking Print To PDF from Excel?

Pictures become blury when on the Timeline

Hello - This is strange. I have pictures in my browser. If I double click on the picture in the browser it opens up in the viewer, and the picture is crisp, like it should be. Then if I drag that picture either from the browser or the viewer and put it on the timeline it gets blurry. I have deleted and tried this numerous times, but it shows up blurry once it gets on the timeline. Even if there is nothing that the pictures is on top of. How can I make the picture crisp like it should be. Thank you!

In Sequence - Render Selection all of them are checked, and in Sequence - Render All , all of them are checked. Then in both of them I have clicked on Render Selection - Both and Render All - Both. The pictures look the same.

Distortion of excel charts when converting microsoft publisher file to pdf

I am using the print "Adobe PDF" function in publisher to convert a publisher file to pdf. Some exel pie charts that were pasted into the publisher file become distorted at the edges in the pdf file. I have tried playing with various settings and using the "print quality" settings but nothing has helped. See the attached files for an example of the excel chart, publisher file, and results I am getting when converting to pdf.
Thanks all.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. What I'm trying to say is that the graphic looks just fine in publisher. But when it is converted to a pdf, the graphic has distorted edges, if you look at the publisher and pdf files I attached I think you might see what I'm talking about.
Please let me know if it's still not clear.

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?

Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

Microsoft Word and Excel Hang When Pasting From Apple Applications

I have had a problem ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word and Excel hang when pasting from Apple applications like Safari and Pages. Pasting to OpenOffice does not show the problem. Pasting from Firefox does not show the problem. I have resolved font duplicates, got rid of input managers, reinstalled Office removing plist files and normal templates but the problem persists. Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit. Besides, sticking to open source software , I am at a loss for what to try next besides reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6 (I am on 10.6.2 now). Any help appreciated. I have crash dumps and snapshots of the hung process if anyone can read them. Word is using close to 100% of the CPU when hung.

Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit.
If their software is freezing up, it's certainly nobody else's fault. If those Apple apps are for some reason creating bad clipboard data, Microsoft's apps should be able to gracefully recover and report the problem. Error handling is probably one of the most important, and most difficult, aspects of programming, but you can't blame poor error handling on anyone but the developer. I suspect that, rather than bad clipboard data, it's more likely to be a case of Microsoft's apps simply not understanding something about perfectly valid clipboard data, because they haven't properly followed Apple developer guidelines.
Of course, that's not a solution. I can't really provide you a solution, other than to ask what version of Office you're using. If you're using too old a version of Word, you should update. You should also let us know what kinds of stuff you're copying. More info always helps to get better answers.

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one
When I try to print a chart from Excel 2007 I get a low memory error. All other printing seems to work just fine. I thought it might be because of a color fill in the chart area so I removed the fill but I'm still getting the error.
I've also cleared the fax memory and run through the steps in http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00378226&prodT...
Running: Windows WP pro (SP3)
Printer: LaserJet 3015 all in one
Current driver: HP Lasetjet 3015 PCL 6
Running as a network printer using a D-Link DP301P

When an application is installed to the expansion card, that's the only place where you will see it in the app launcher screen, i.e. by selecting the card. It will not appear in the All category because that only shows apps which are installed to internal memory.
As for the Files application, yes, it only lets you browse contents of the card. For a more robust file management utility which will let you browse your entire phone, you might want to look into a freeware application called FileZ, which I believe is available at www.palmgear.com and other places.
I've never run Documents To Go from a card, but when you open Docs to Go and open the Menu > Options > Manage Applications, there is an option there to move applications to the Card. Never having done that, I'm not sure whether it moves the whole DTG app to a card but, give it a try.
I have oodles of applications and documents stored on my Centro's internal memory, and never have run up against a memory problem. At any time, you can check available memory by going to the application launcher (home) screen, opening the menu, and selecting Info.

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

Is it possible to write a script for Excel Chart Conversion to an ai file?

I tried to record a script and it didn’t work. I will attempt to explain what I am doing (and why) and maybe you guys can tell me if it can be done or not. We are working with Excel charts and we eventually put them into InDesign for a print magazine. Here are the steps as best as I can translate. We are using Illustrator CS6 Version 16.2.0.
1. Copy Chart from Excel
2. Paste into Illustrator
3. Fit Art Board to Graphic
4. Select All
5. Change Kerning to 0
6. Select the Background
7. Select Same Fill Color
8. Change Color to 5% Black
9. Select the grid lines on the Chart
10. Change the Stroke to 50% Black
11. Save as an AI file
There is also a scenario where there are multiple charts and we would like to make multiple art boards in the same file.
I do this for a few reasons: Remove Rich Black, Adjust Kerning, Eliminate any Font Issues, Easier to Scale, and it chokes our rip because there is no link when they are copied and pasted directly from Excel to InDesign.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

no can do, there's no access to mesh point with scripting, sorry about that.
have you tried Mesh Tormentor? it is free!!!, but I don't know if it will help with your problem

Link in Word to Excel chart stored in SharePoint

I want to embed chart from Excel in Word document. Both Excel and Word documents are saved in SharePoint library. What I did, was to paste chart from Excel with "link data" option enabled. I also went to Links window and set "Update method
for seected link" to "Automatic update".
This works great, asking me to update chart everytime I open Word document, which is exactly what I want. Only as long as I have Excel file open. (I noticed, that when the file was on local PC, instead of SharePoint, it worked without opening Excel). When
Excel is not open, chart is not refreshed.
If I go to Client Tools -> Design ribbon and click on Edit Data, source is opened in window and chart is updated.
My question is:
How can I force chart to update with data, that might have changed in Excel located on SharePoint? Macro, that would open the file is fine.
Making users go thru ribbon and "edit data" option is unfortunately too complicated for inexperienced users. I need one-button-click solution or something that works automaticaly.

Hi Tschareck,
According to your description , my understanding is that you want to update the excel chart data when editing the chart in the word.
As a workaround, I suggest you can use SharePoint ItemUpdated Event Receiver, when you updated the chart data in the word, then reupload the excel file in the event receiver.
Here are some detailed code demo for your reference:

OLE objects - Excel - Chart: label is missed

On generation of an Excel report, some charts are created based on some table values placing into the same book. When the chart is created, all labels appears correctly;
but when the chart is cut and pasted at the main sheet, some labels disappears from the chart. There is one label for each two ticks of the X-axis.
Somebody know how to fix this problem?

How can I know that I must use worksheets property of workbooks property of application property of oleobject?
That's dependant on understanding the object model for the application that you're trying to work with. There's nothing PB documentation can really help with there.
There are a couple of sections of the Application Techniques manual that cover OLE Automation in depth:
Programmable OLE Objects
OLE Objects in Scripts
What you might find more useful in this regard though is an article I did for PBDJ, which was an excerpt from the PowerBuilder 9: Advanced Client/Server book.
What I discuss in there is how to use the object browser built into Microsoft Office products to understand the object model and how to use the functions and properties of the target application.
