Pasting Chart drops data

[George Wilson]

I'm assisting a customer using Excel andPowerPoint 2002 on
a Windows XP OS. Display is set to 1024x768. A chart has
been created in Excel and has extra information in text
boxes and manually inserted trend lines, just drawing
objects layered over the chart. The drawing objects laying
over the left 75% of the chart show up fine but any text
boxes or lines near the right quarter of the chart just
will not show up. I tried dragging them over to the middle
of the chart and they show up fine. I tried changing the
display settings and get pretty much the same result. The
items on the chart like the axis and bars show up fine in
this area but no drawing objects. Is there something I can
set to correct this issue? This was not an issue until
this system was recently upgraded from Office 2000 to
Office XP.
TIA
George
