Cut and paste visual

Hi I am trying to paste a visual from dashboard in the service to a word document but reaslised that it only seems to copy the visual with a white background which means that when the visual is pasted, the actual background is shown as white and text on the visual which is white can no longer be seen. Are there any plans that will allow the actual impage to be copied including all the visual formatting?

@NeilRoss are you using this feature:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-copy-paste
And are you coping from a report or dashboard? (Sometimes people refer to a report as dashboard)

it doesnt seem to matter which. when i paste the visual from either a report or a dashboard the image copied does not retain all the original visualisation formatting e.g. background colour

 

@NeilRoss yep I had to check. You are right 🙂 and I can't find a refernce to it in the doc.

Seems a bit limited that it doesn't retain original formatting 

Yep, agree
