SUMMARY
Page 259 of the &quot;Microsoft Excel Functions and Macros&quot; manual incorrectly describes the third form of the PASTE.SPECIAL command as applying &quot;if you have copied from a worksheet or macro sheet and are pasting into a chart.&quot;

The second form of the PASTE.SPECIAL command, not the third, applies if you are copying from a worksheet or macro sheet to a chart. The third form of PASTE.SPECIAL applies only for copying from one chart and pasting into a second chart.

The second form of the PASTE.SPECIAL command has arguments for Values in Row/Column, Series Names in first Row/Column, and Categories in first Row/Column. These arguments determine how the information is interpreted by Excel in creating the chart.

The third form of the PASTE.SPECIAL command has only one argument, specifying whether All attributes of the chart are pasted, or if only Formats or Formulas are pasted.
