Default Excel 2007 error "some chart types cannot be combined with oth

I don't have answer for why not any charts. I've managed to get scatter
charts to work in 2007 and that is the only type I've really tried. My only
guess at this point would be a bad install of Excel? But wait for more
responses before going to great lengths to uninstall/reinstall Office.
Although trying a repair installation may help.

As for why no charts but art/shapes are ok - could very well be that charts
is done with a different 'engine'. I do know that the chart engine for 2007
is a whole new beast, not just a port over from 2003.

This happens with any chart at all that you try to create?
