I've created charts on slides. However, when I go on to
something else and return to the charts to attempt
editing, I receive the following error message: "The
server application, source file or item can't be found, or
returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the
server application."

I have run detect and repair, which made no difference.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jan
 
Which version are you using?

in the '97 versions charts and slides with in powerpoint are a bit tricky -
try shutting down your machine and restarting and then only keep open the
programs you absolutely need to have open. (Who needs email?) This keeps
your memory available for the transfers.

The best way to do this is to insert the chart as a picture and save it in
the original Excel format.

Select the chart you want, copy it, go to your presentation, click insert,
then choose as picture and then chose the picture format you want.

Good Luck!
