Source Data Mess

Using Excel 2003
I created one pie chart and then did a copy & paste to paste that same chart
into another worksheet. Then I right-clicked and chose “Source Data†and
then highlighted the data for the new chart with the new raw data. There’s
one problem – The data labels and the corresponding percentages pasted over,
but the pieces of the pie chart do not correspond to their data labels.
There’s a piece of the pie that is supposed to be 49% and it’s about half of
what it should be. I hope I explained this properly. Does anyone know why
this is happening?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated, Karen
 
Karen,
Try this:
Select the "new" chart by right mouse click to select it.
Then select "Source Data" and put the original Pie chart data (from first
chart).
