Default how do you cut and paste an excel bar chart into an email?

thanks to my massively limited computer skills i can't seem to figure out how to get a chart into a yahoo email

do you have to save it as something else before you can paste it?

tried a google, but my wording of the problem doesn't seem to bring up much of an answer!

can anyone give some pointers?

I just created a simple Chart, right-clicked towards the edge (NOT in the middle over the columns) and selected "Copy".

I then went into word and clicked Paste, and "Hey Presto", it appeared.

If Yahoo e-mail doesn't allow you to paste directly, create a new Word document, paste the Chart into there and then attach it to the message.

It is possible to include pictures "inline" within an e-mail, but it depends both on whether the creating/send program and the receiving program support it (e.g. you can turn off pictures/weblinks in Outlook).

I presume that your Yahoo e-mail is web-based (i.e. you send messages from a web browser) - in which case it may not be possible (but i don't know for sure 'cos i don't use Yahoo!)
