We used the chart wizard to create a chart. The chart area is greyed out and
the chart is displayed only when the chart area is clicked on. We tried to
create the same chart using a new workbook and we don't have this problem.
Hi,
Use the menu Tools > Options. On the View tab in the Objects section
make sure Show All is selected rather than place holders.
Cheers
Andy
