I have a file for collecting a year's data which I want to duplicate for the next year (2013).

Since I am annoyed by a bunch of structural/embedded things that are copied along from year to year when I do a simple rename, I am building a new file, sheet by sheet, by copying each sheet over to it.

(This scrambles many of the links between sheets, but I can fix these.)

However the graphs so transferred appear in the new file with a data table instead of actual cell ranges, which kills them dead so far as showing changing data. They show a snapshot of last year's last data.

I do not want to build anew these graphs, they are complex, with many attribute tweaks.

Any ideas?  XP, OO 3.4

I have no particular comment on your current process, but.... is it possible for you to create a template from this (even if you only save a mostly empty copy for next year) so that you can start from the "mostly empty" stage easily next year.

A template would usually work, but it's this year's special case of trying to shake out some obscure oddities from the file, that makes a total new file seem necessary.

In addition I would like in general to be able to copy/paste a complex graph from one spreadsheet to another.
