Assuming you're pasting an "Object" into Word as opposed
to a "Picture," two things come to mind: (1) if you don't
mind a picture (not editable in Word), select your chart,
hold down SHIFT in Excel and in the Edit Menu look
for "Copy Picture," try the two choices that come up to
see if either solves your problem, and paste into Word.
(2) If you must have an object, once your object is pasted
into Word, right click on it, choose Open Object. Once
inside the Excel object, go to Tools | Options | Chart,
and uncheck "Size with Window." Then, under the File Menu
(still from within your Excel object), choose "Close and
Return to Word..."
