I've been having this problem for a long time, and it only seems to happen with the larger Word documents I work with.

I am currently using Excel to create charts (because I like the flexibility with the formatting), and then pasting these charts into a Word document. However, after saving the document a few times, big red X's show up where my charts should be, and frankly, I'm getting a little tired of it, because I have to copy and paste the charts from Excel into Word over and over.

I'm using Office 2002, and I'm an advanced user. When I paste the charts into Word, I format the chart (which is now a picture) so that it sits in front of the text, so I can position it exactly where I want it. Maybe this is the problem?

Any suggestions you have would be great!

Why suffer so long when there's an easy answer? First, make sure that you
have installed all the servicepacks. Then read
