Copy and Paste charts from Lucid to Powerpoint

The copy/paste is working again for me. I am able to select all copy from Lucid and paste to Microsoft applications.

Very glad to see the functionality has been restored.

@addie h Thank you for helping to get this functionality restored!

well, this week it stopped working for me. Like many others here, I use this ‘formally not supported’ feature many times a day, and its dissapearance is very frustrating.
Export and plug-ins are not viable options:
plug-in is simply not working, and export gives me a similar result as copy-paste (unless I need to copy only part of the page), but in about 20 clicks instead of 2.
I hope it will get restored soon, as my re-billing is in two weeks, and I simply won’t continue using Lucid if copy-paste won’t be working. 

Hi ​@RomanJ, 

Thank you for the reply! I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with Lucid and Powerpoint. As mentioned in the highlighted answer, this functionality does depend on both Lucid and Microsoft to function.There is no guarantee that something may change in the future that is outside of our control preventing copy and paste from working.
As a workaround, have you tried exporting your document/document portion as a PNG (with transparent background)?

I just got the same issue a week ago, cannot copy and paste the chart in microsoft powerpoint… My colleague can use it normally. Anyone know how to solve the issue?

Hi ​@pratyakrub, 

This functionality is not guaranteed to function since it does depend on both Lucid and Microsoft. There may be something that occurred outside of Lucid’s control that prevents copy and paste from working on your device. 

As a workaround, have you tried exporting your document/document portion as a PNG (with transparent background) and adding that to your presentation? 

Agree 100% - I use Lucid exclusively for design and documentation, and have done so for many years but will discontinue subscription if this is not sorted out. 

As Word and Microsoft are the industry standard (unfortunately) your developers should surely test before making changes as well as testing and resolving whenever Microsoft release any updates. 

Exporting to PNG and then importing into Word is not a solution

Totally bogus that one cannot simply and easily copy a chart out of Lucid and paste it into PowePoint or Word. Why can companies like Smartdraw provide that feature but years later you still cannot?

This likely loses you a sale.
