Here is what I am doing:

1) Add a shape to a tab
2) Right click tab
3) Select "Move or Copy..."
4) Check "Create a copy"
5) Click OK

Yet when the new copy is made, it does not have any of the shapes or pictures! This behavior was not displayed in versions of Excel prior to 2010...do I have a bugged copy or is this a new "feature" in 2013?

If anybody has any ideas on how to resolve this, I'd love to hear them. I have tried changing the properties to "Don't move or size with cells" and "Move but don't size with cells" along with the default "Move and size with cells". I've toggled "Printed object", "Locked", and "Lock text" on and off. Nothing has worked so far.

I've searched these forums and Google and come up empty handed.

Thanks for your help!


EDIT: The issue was in my settings. I needed to check "Cut, copy, and sort inserted objects with their parent cells" under "Cut, copy, and paste" in the Advanced options.

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
May be super late in this, but thanks for posting. Just got an upgraded computer and couldnt find this again forever. Was driving me nuts.
