Copying and Pasting an Excel Chart

I am trying to copy an Excel Chart that I have developed
into a Word Document. When I select the Excel Chart and
click on "COPY", I get an error message that "The picture
is too large and will be truncated." When I go to Word
and paste the image into the Word document, sure enough,
the right 20% or so of the Chart is cut off. I tried
selecting the pasted object to see if it might be cropped
and if I could possibly expand it to the right to expose
more information, but no such luck.

Any ideas as to why I am getting this problem. I am
using Excel 2000 (SP-3) and Word 2000 (SP-3) running on
Windows XP Pro on an Intel Pentium 4 (2.8 GHz) with 2 GB
RAM.

Thanks,

Terry B.
 
In both XL and Word, are the respective views set to 100%? If not,
does the copy+paste work at a zoom setting of 100%?
