I'm having issues copying certain graphs from Excel to Illustrator. Some paste just fine. Others paste like this example. The text is scrambled. I'm assuming it's a security measure encrypting the data. Wanted to ask the community though as this isn't always the case.

Correct answer mjbelt

Change the Font/Size in Excel before pasting it into Illustrator.

Alternate option: re-create graph in Illustrator.

This only worked for 1 graph in the same file. I am on Windows.

Is that on a Mac?

In that case try a different font in Excel. There maight be issues with Calibri
