excel to calc chart problems

[bezvardis]

I was opening my excel file which contains chart but the chart would not work, i.e., it shows like a non-transparent layer which has some resemblance to the original chart but is actually not. I can write in the cells behind that image, but since it is not transparent, after 'enter' I don't see what I have entered.

Is that a known problem and what could be the possible ways to resolve it (apart from re-drawing the chart in Calc)?

I experimented a bit more with my workbook. When I made a new chart in the same sheet, the old chart became clickable - i.e., it was not any more just a layer drawing. Still it seems not to be linked with the data properly and I cannot edit the chart.

May be you should try the same with the OpenOffice-version, which is the foundation of NeoOffice/J. So you can see, if it is an OOo-issue or a NeoOffice/J-issue.

I opened it in OpenOffice - exactly the same situation. The original chart becomes functional after I have created another chart and saved the workbook. It did not become functional after I just saved the workbook. Do you still need a sample?
