How can I use the command "Paste Special - As Picture" that you access in Excel from the right-click menu?
I have viewed various posts, but they seem to be outdated when using Excel 2016. It seems it has to be in this section,
With TempWB.Sheets(1)
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
.Cells(1).Select
How do I alter to allow copy and paste as picture?
When using the original code below, I lose all column and row sizing in the email body.
Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim outMail As Object
Set rng = Nothing
' Only send the visible cells in the selection.
Set rng = Sheets("Dashboard").Range("B4:L17").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set outMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With outMail
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = ""
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
Set outMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Function RangetoHTML(rng As Range)

Dim fso As Object
Dim ts As Object
Dim TempFile As String
Dim TempWB As Workbook
TempFile = Environ$("temp") & "/" & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss") & ".htm"
'Copy the range and create a new workbook to past the data in
rng.Copy
Set TempWB = Workbooks.Add(1)
With TempWB.Sheets(1)
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
.Cells(1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
On Error Resume Next
.DrawingObjects.Visible = True
.DrawingObjects.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
'Publish the sheet to a htm file
With TempWB.PublishObjects.Add( _
SourceType:=xlSourceRange, _
Filename:=TempFile, _
Sheet:=TempWB.Sheets(1).Name, _
Source:=TempWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address, _
HtmlType:=xlHtmlStatic)
.Publish (True)
End With
'Read all data from the htm file into RangetoHTML
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
RangetoHTML = ts.ReadAll
ts.Close
RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
"align=left x:publishsource=")
'Close TempWB
TempWB.Close savechanges:=False
'Delete the htm file we used in this function
Kill TempFile
Set ts = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
Set TempWB = Nothing
End Function
To get better picture on Outlook, work with Word object model with MailItem.GetInspector Property (Outlook)
