Default Empty full sheet charts

Thanks, but my existing files are only part of the problem. This problem
applies to all charts I attempt to make in Excel, no matter where the data
comes from. I simply cannot create a visible chart that takes up an entire
tab within a workbook.

I know this may be a silly question and I am only a newbie but could you
not just select copy on the entire old sheet and paste into the new one?
That way they should both exist if you are saving under different names. I
would expect that, if you use exactly the same name and save it, if the
data didn't come across, you wiped the old stuff. I hope you have a backup
of it. (all this presupposing that the one you copy from and one to are in
the same location, naturally)

I've just upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007 on a Vista (32 bit)
machine, however, I quickly discovered that in Excel when I use the "Move
Chart" option to place a chart within a new sheet of its own the tab is
created as expected but it appears to be entirely empty. The chart has
disappeared from its original location though. In addition, any full
sheet charts within my old excel files also do not appear. Needless to
say this is a major bug which renders Excel entirely useless to me.

I had heard that this was a known problem within the beta but was
believed to have been fixed. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour
and, more importantly, does anyone know how this might be fixed?
