Post subject:  Copy a gauge from Excel to inDesign

Dear,

I have downloaded the lite version of your program.

I made a gauge graph and I want to export to a different program (Adobe InDesign) to make a document.

When I paste the graph in InDesign it does not copy it (actually it copies only the border of the graph).

Is there something that I am doing wrong or it is not possible to copy and paste the graph other than in Power Point?

Thanks for let me know!

Best regards
Giulio S

Usually Excel is used as a calculation grid.

When you use it as a diagram builder, there are some specific functions.
For example, in ordre to select which shapes have to be selected,
there is a dedicated function (that is also shown in BeGraphic): Select Objects

The "Select Objects" function is inside the ribbon in the "Excel layout" part.

In ordre to select and group several shapes into a single one, you have to use the "Select Objects".
Then you can copy & paste the grouped shape into another software (e.g.: inDesign).
