I have created a chart in Excel and added a number of text boxes on top of
the chart.

I need to paste the entire chart & text boxes into Word and/or Powerpoint;
however by selecting the chart and copying, the text boxes are excluded.

MS help suggests entering the text boxes outside the chart then moving them
into the chart and grouping the chart and text boxes; however there does not
seem to be the ability to group the chart with the text boxes.
 
If you had clicked on the chart before making the textboxes, all the items
would have been grouped. But you can do it later:
Hold down SHIFT and click on each box and on the chart area; right click and
select Group from popup menu. Done!
best wishes
