Enhanced metafile: Pasting complex graphs into word results in skewed graphics

Hi,

I recently learned about being able to copy and paste graphics from excel into word as in enhanced metafile format. I especially liked this as I sometimes combine table element with graphs.

However two things are bugging me:

  1. The graphs seem kind of awkwardly skewed, most noticeable in the kerning of fonts
  2. the dimensions in Excel and Word (or Power Point) are different. The size in cm differs greatly after pasting into Word and then resizing the graphic to 100%, it's much bigger

Are there some workarounds for this? Especially the skewed fonts are really setting me off as the differences in kerning are subtle which makes it even more irritating.

Thanks!

How to create Macro that creates Word document with certain charts from Excel, converted to images (enhanced metafiles)?

Hi all! Can anyone help me with following task- I have an xlsm file, that contains some graphs on certain separate sheets.

I am thinking of a Macro, that creates a Word file, listing the graphs from certain sheets, copied as enhanced metafile images with certain size.

Is that possible at all and which is the best approach?

Thanks in advance!

Trying to paste a chart from Excel to Word using "Enhanced Metafile". Doing so ruins my legend. Why does this happen.

I found a post that describes this problem well. Of course, there's the classic XKCD describing this situation.

I have a chart with 8 data series plotted. I have deleted 4 of these series from my legend. I want to paste this as an image into word with the legend as-is. When I paste my chart, the legend gets messed up. Has anyone experienced this? Why does this happen?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.282 for Beta and Release Preview Channels

Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 11 Build 22000.282to Windows Insiders in the Beta and Release Preview Channels.

This update includes the following improvements:

  • We fixed an L3 caching issue that might affect performance in some applications on devices that have AMD Ryzen processors after upgrading to Windows 11 (original release).
  • We fixed an issue for a small number of users that prevents the Start menu from working and prevents you from seeing the updated taskbar design after upgrading to Windows 11 (original release).
  • We fixed a race condition that occurs during the early part of startup that might cause a stop error.
  • We fixed a regression that might cause stop error 0x38 on some machine configurations that use non-ASCII text in the registry.
  • We fixed an issue with the interrupt handling of certain processors that might cause devices to stop responding.
  • We fixed an issue that causes PowerShell to create an infinite number of child directories. This issue occurs when you use the PowerShell Move-Item command to move a directory to one of its children. As a result, the volume fills up and the system stops responding.
  • We fixed an issue that causes the Server Manager application to disappear after you use it to remove Hyper-V features. This issue occurs when you install Server Manager on Windows 11 (original release) clients using Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
  • We fixed a threading issue that might cause the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service to stop working when it is under a high load.
  • We fixed an issue that causes the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider host process to stop working. This occurs because of an unhandled access violation that occurs when using the Desired State Configuration (DSC).
  • We fixed an issue that causes a device to stop responding when you forcibly shut down the device while a Group Policy is being updated.
  • We fixed an issue that causes file migration between Distributed File System (DFS) paths that are stored on different volumes to fail. This issue occurs when you implement the migration using PowerShell scripts that use the Move-Item command.
  • We fixed an issue that prevents you from writing to a WMI repository after a low memory condition occurs.
  • We fixed an issue with a hardcoded font in the PowerShell shortcut file that distorts Japanese, Chinese, and Korean language fonts. This update fixed this issue for all newly created users on the

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Wine release 6.0
The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 6.0
is now available.

This release represents a year of development effort and over 8,300
individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements that
are listed in the release notes below. The areas of major changes are:

  - Core modules in PE format.
  - Vulkan backend for WineD3D.
  - DirectShow and Media Foundation support.
  - Text console redesign.

This release is dedicated to the memory of Ken Thomases, who passed
away just before Christmas at the age of 51. Ken was an incredibly
brilliant developer, and the mastermind behind the macOS support in
Wine. We all miss his skills, his patience, and his dark sense of
humor.

The source is available from the following locations:

  https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/6.0/wine-6.0.tar.xz
  http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/wine/source/6.0/wine-6.0.tar.xz

Binary packages for various distributions will be available from:

  https://www.winehq.org/download

You will find documentation on https://www.winehq.org/documentation

You can also get the current source directly from the git
repository. Check https://www.winehq.org/git for details.

Wine is available thanks to the work of many people. See the file
AUTHORS in the distribution for the complete list.

----------------------------------------------------------------

What's new in Wine 6.0
======================


*** PE modules

- The core DLLs, including NTDLL, KERNEL32, GDI32, USER32, etc. are
  built in PE format. This should help a number of copy protection
  schemes that check that the DLL files on disk match the in-memory
  contents.

- There is a new mechanism to associate a Unix library with a PE
  module, to make it possible to call Unix libraries from PE for the
  functions that can't be handled with Win32 APIs.
  These libraries are found by replacing the PE module file extension
  with .so, for instance ntdll.dll -> ntdll.so. They have to be
  located next to the PE file on disk.

- Winelib modules no longer link against libwine.so, or require it at
  run-time. This is a backwards incompatible change, meaning that
  modules built with Wine 6.0 won't run on older Wine versions.

- The libwine library is no longer used, but it's still provided
