Pasting as a picture, or straight paste as an embedded Excel chart? If the
latter, you can impose non-auto tick spacing. Double click on the axis, and
on the scale tab, uncheck the auto box in front of the reported tick
spacing. When the chart is pasted into another application, when it resizes
to fit, it will no longer automatically readjust tick spacings.
