Edit chart in Excel - broken link

P

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I've found the chart editing problem described in Knowledgebase article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947694 - clicking on the Edit in Excel menu item (or the contextual menu item Edit Data) results in an error that says "The linked file is not available. Use the Edit Links to Files command to find the file". The Knowledgebase article says "Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug ...". But the article is dated 18 Jan 2008 - more than TWO YEARS AGO. Has the bug been fixed in the meantime? Is there any better workaround than replacing the chart as recommended by the KB article?

(I don't want to replace the chart because I don't want to have to redo the extensive formatting that I applied within PowerPoint.)
