I found a code on the Internet and I've adapted to my own use to automate copy-paste. Works great except that when I paste the Excel chart to my word report, the colors get changed to destination theme. I need to keep source formatting and as the report is final, I can't change the color scheme either.
For some reason Selection.PasteSpecial (wdChart) does not work, it's used as a simple paste. I've got hundreds of reports to paste two dozens of graphs to, I would not want to do if manually!
