Graphs changing format/colors

Casiopeia

Hi!
I started to create a document in the PPT2007 trial version, but when the
trial ran out, I bought the program and continued with the document in the
new version instead.

In this document I have created about 90 slides with different graphs, and
the document is made in a template I have designed. When opening the document
in the new PPT2007 all the graphs look the same- until I select them to edit
something. Suddenly all graphs change colour and format to one of PPT
standard themes! If I edit the graph and change the colours back to the
original colours, the same thing happens next time I select the graph and I
have to do it all over again…

I’ve tried to mail the document to a colleague for help, and she solved the
problem by simply right-click on the graph and choose worksheet
object/convert and convert the graph to a excel graph. The weird thing is
that when I try to do the same thing nothing happens. Why?

I would be really grateful if anyone knows how to solve this.

You need Excel 2007 installed also in order to be able to convert the graphs
to the 2007-style graphs (which use Excel for graphing). Otherwise, they're
just typical 2003-style graphs.

Thanks, the diagnostics discovered some kind of problem, but it didn´t solve
anything. What can I do next?

Did it tell you what kind of problem it found?

Are you changing the color scheme in your theme, by any chance? That could
make all the charts change colors.

Hm. I'd probably try running diagnostics next -- it's in Office Button |
PPT
Options | Resources.
