Alignment Problem in "3-D Clustered Column" Chart (layout 5)

[Amun-Ra]

In PowerPoint 2007 there are 8 chart layouts. The problem is with chart
layout 5 when it is applied to “3-D clustered column†charts.

When I run the slide show, the alignment of the horizontal categories
changes and moves out of its proper place. Each time I run the slide show,
the alignment becomes more and more distorted until the horizontal categories
overlap with the vertical series.

Steps in PowerPoint 2007:
1. Insert “3-D Clustered Column†chart
2. Select chart and go to Chart Tools menu/Design Tab/Chart layout group
3. Select layout 5
4. Run slide show (3-4 times)

Each time you run the slide show the horizontal categories will overlap the
vertical series.

How can this alignment problem be corrected?

Hi

This is a known bug and has been reported to Microsoft. The workaround is to
re-apply the chart layout which returns it to its original state.
