whenever i print my page i did on microsoft word a Chart pops up on the printed page, BUT it doesn't show this chart on the file on the computer and i dont want it there. how do i remove this invisible chart? so frustrating.

It sounds like you might have a custom watermark set up. In Word 07, this in in the page layout menu on the ribbon. On word 03, it'll be somewhere in the file/page setup options, I'd imagine

no, i inserted a chart before all the work i put into the document, and i thought i had deleted the chart before all the work. but it appears not and i can't find it (to select it). hope this helps.

have you tried using CTRL-G and moving through the objects?

If the chart is the only shape in your document, you could try this: Sub DeleteChart() For Each s In ActiveDocument.Shapes s.Delete Next s End Sub If not, this should cycle through all your shapes and give you the choice to delete it or not. Maybe it can still select the chart, even if you can't see it... Sub DeleteChart() For Each s In ActiveDocument.Shapes s.Select ans = MsgBox("Delete Shape?", vbYesNoCancel) If ans = vbYes Then s.Delete If ans = vbCancel Then Exit Sub Next s End Sub

sorry i dont have a clue what the above means? how do i do this? and john, that didn't work either :(

What I posted were 2 VBA macros that will search your document for shapes and select/delete them. The first will simply delete every shape, while the second will ask you each time if you want to delete it. "Yes" will delete the currently selected shape, "No" will skip to the next one and "Cancel" will stop the code and return you to Word. For safety sake, save a copy of your original document in case things go terribly wrong. Then, in your document, press Alt-F11 to open the VBA editor. Paste the code into the pane that opens and run it via the little green arrow or press F8 to single step through it. To test it, I used Insert...Object...Microsoft Graph Chart to insert a few generic charts into a document. When I ran the code, it selected each chart so I know that VBA considers my charts to be "Shapes". YMMV Good luck!
