Default Paste text box onto graph, text disappears

Hi,


I am very frustrated. I have read through the internet, and the only solution i have found is to select the graph before you paste and it should work, but obviously i do that. I have about 50 graphs all needing 6 of the same exact text boxes. So i made the text boxes i wanted, tried to copy them and paste them on every graph, but they are just blank boxes when they paste.

Is there another way of getting all these text boxes into my graphs without doing it this way, and taking forever? This is so inefficient...

Please get back to me ASAP

I don't know how to post a sample copy, it would just be a graph without the text boxes because they didn't paste onto the graph with any writing in the text boxes. I feel like this should be a a simple fix, but i'm at a loss.

Hi
I have just tried inserting a text box over a graph and it works fine for me, sample attached.
Try doing the same in the attached workbook as you did in your workbook and see if you have the same issue.
Let me know how you get on.
Good luck.

I was doing it in word. I copied and pasted a graph into word then copied a text box from another word file and pasted it onto the graph, and it's just a blank box that disappears when you deselect it. I tried copying and pasting the same text box into excel on the original graph, and it works fine. I attached a sample, however the text box won't be able to be seen because it's blank. I placed in the bottom left corner.

Hi
Please see sample you provided with a text box pasted in the bottom right hand corner of your graph. Please let me know if you can see it okay or not.

How did you paste the textbox, I see it can't be removed. That's why it can be pasted, but I don't know how to get it like this in excel.
thanks
