Default Problem adding chart (Office 2007)

Nicholas Poh -

Regarding "I can't add any chart/graph in Microsoft Excel 2007":

Have you looked on the Review ribbon to see if the sheet is protected?

If the sheet is protected without allowing the user to edit objects, you
cannot insert a chart.

Hi,

Thanks for the guide but the setting is already set to show all. The
chart/graph is missing because the chart/graph is not working. I can't add
any chart/graph in Microsoft Excel 2007 and all the Office 2007.

I'm really hoping that someone could help me out.

Office Button | Excel Options | Advanced | (Display options for this
workbook) For objects, show: All | OK.

One more thing, if I open a file which already contain chart/graph, the
placeholder where the chart/graph should be is empty. Clicking on it
will highlight the placeholder but I can't see anything chart/graph in
it.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm having problem adding chart/graph in any Office 2007 applications.
I can't seem to add any chart/graph. The following is the problems that
I'm encountering (with a new document/spreadsheet):

Excel 2007
1) Clicking any of the chart/graph button in the "Insert" ribbon does
nothing.
2) If I choose "All Chart Types...", then the Insert Chart dialog will
appear. Choosing any of the chart will cause Excel to display "Some
chart types cannot be combined with other chart types. Select a
different chart type".

All Office 2007 applications (Word, Powerpoint, ect)
1) Inserting chart/graph will bring up the Insert Chart dialog.
Choosing any of the chart will cause Excel to display "Some chart types
cannot be combined with other chart types. Select a different chart
type".

I've already uninstalled, reboot and reinstalled Office 2007 but it
still doesn't work. I also tried uninstalling Office 2007 and delete
all registry keys connected to Office 2007 and reinstall, but it still
won't work.

The system (Windows XP) I'm using is connected to Windows 2003 domain
(with Active Directory). The weird thing is, if I log in the system
using the "Administrator" user, I can add graph/chart normally. If I
login using any other users (even the one with Administrators
privilege), I'll encounter the problem described above.

I really hope someone could help me out.

Thanks in advance.
