Labels disappear

I have an Excel file that I've set up as a chart
template. Each point on the chart is treated as a
separate data array so that I can label the point by its
name and not its value.

Periodically, I paste new data into a table which updates
the chart. I then copy the revised chart and paste it
into a new Excel file for distribution.

Here's my issue: When I email the new file, some
recipients get the chart with the point names, some
recipients get no names.

Thanks!
 
I believe that has to do with the Client Recipient's
Active X security settings. They need to change it on
their end? Hope that helps.

John -

I don't know about the iffy appearance of the labels. Are they regular
point data labels?

You can use a utility like Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler
(http://appspro.com) or John Walkenbach's Chart Tools
(http://j-walk.com) to apply labels from a worksheet range to your data
points, without having to put each point into its own series. Both are
free addins.
