Hello Markus,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you wonder why the
method Range.CopyPicture in Excel 2007 sometimes fails to copy the graphs
in the range, and how to resolve it. If I'm off base, please feel free to
let me know.

Our internal log shows an known issue reported for it and the fix has been
built. I am now contacting the Excel product team for more information and
will get back to you as soon as possible. If you feel it is urgent or
critical for your product, you can contact Microsoft Product Support
directly to discuss additional support options you may have available, by
contacting us at 1-(800)936-5800 or by choosing one of the options listed
at
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx?rdpath=fh;en-us;cntac
tms. Please note that if the issue turns out to be an issue of our product,
the support expense will be refunded in the end.

As for the question about xlPrinter, if xlPrinter is used, the picture is
copied as it will look when it's printed. If a printer is not installed,
there is no way to know what a picture would look like when printed.
Therefore, if we use xlPrinter, it is necessary to install a printer there.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

Sincerely,
Jialiang Ge (jialge@online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.')
