Hi

I have a group of charts on an excel worksheet that I need to copy onto a powerpoint slide. I have 4 charts put together as one group on a sheet which I want to copy to a specific slide of an already running presentation. I am not able to select the group as on object and paste it. Instead i am selecting the range of cells the group occupies and pasting the range as a picture, which is affecting the quality of the charts when displayed in the ppt. Can anybody tell me how can select the group of charts as a whole and paste it onto the ppt so that the quality of the display will be retained?

Here is the macro i am using:
Sub Copy_Paste_to_PowerPoint3()

'Requires a reference to the Microsoft PowerPoint Library via the Tools - Reference menu in the VBE
Dim ppApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim ppSlide As PowerPoint.Slide

Dim SheetName As String
Dim TestRange As Range
Dim TestSheet As Worksheet
Dim TestChart As ChartObject

Dim PasteChart As Boolean
Dim PasteChartLink As Boolean
Dim ChartNumber As Long

Dim PasteRange As Boolean
Dim RangePasteType As String
Dim RangeName As String
Dim AddSlidesToEnd As Boolean
Dim shts As Worksheet
'Parameters

'SheetName - name of sheet in Excel that contains the range or chart to copy

'PasteChart -If True then routine will copy and paste a chart
'PasteChartLink -If True then Routine will paste chart with Link; if = False then paste chart no link
'ChartNumber -Chart Object Number
'
'PasteRange - If True then Routine will copy and Paste a range
'RangePasteType - Paste as Picture linked or unlinked, "HTML" or "Picture". See routine below for exact values
'RangeName - Address or name of range to copy; "B3:G9" "MyRange"
'AddSlidesToEnd - If True then appednd slides to end of presentation and paste. If False then paste on current slide.

'use active sheet. This can be a direct sheet name

Please help me out with this issue.
