Bizarre problem with Excel charts embedded in PowerPoint

G

Gary McGill

Hi,

[Note: all Office 2003, Windows XP]

I'm generating some PowerPoint slides that contain embedded (not linked)
Excel worksheets, and I'm seeing a bizarre problem with some of the charts.

My charts have floating autoshapes on them which are used as data labels.
When I view the PowerPoint presentation containing the chart, it clips the
autoshapes so that you only see part of them (if at all). Yet, if I open up
the embedded worksheet, there they are.

I can even move or edit the autoshapes in Excel, and when I go back to
PowerPoint they still don't show. (Although they do if you move them so that
they overlap the plot area).

I've posted an example (which will expire in 7 days) at
http://senduit.com/a4a001

Can anyone help? Note that I need to find a solution that I can implement in
code - although even something that I could do manually would be a starting
point!

Thanks,
Gary
