MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2007How do I ungroup non-ungroupable objects?
I transfered a plot over from Excel (as a Windows Metafile or Enhanced Metafile), so I can ungroup it. But I reach a point where I end up with a set of objects that I cannot ungroup. (All of the bars on a bar chart corresponding to the same colour.) This is clearly an assembly of objects - in this case bars/rectangles. Why am I not able to ungroup these objects? How do I? I've not ever noticed this behavior. Is it happening in PPT / Excel 2003? Does it work any better if you just copy/paste the plot (chart) and ungroup that?

Yeah, I've seen it with tickmarks in 2007 -- but I haven't run across it with the bars themselves. Wouldn't surprise me, though. If we can repro, we can write it up as a bug and cross our fingers that it gets fixed in the next version.
