XP causing Excel chart display problem in Word

[Philomena Connors]

Hi,
I hope someone can help. I just upgraded to XP
Professional. I import a lot of excel charts as links
into a word document and this was working fine until I
upgraded to XP - now only 3/4 of the chart is displayed
on my screen. Yet, it prints correctly. I've narrowed it
down to an XP problem because when I go into a colleagues
computer (he is still using Windows 2000) and update the
links in the same document (the document is on a
network), the full chart is displayed. Any ideas? Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Philomena

Best to discuss in the Excel newsgroups, even if you think root cause is
XP.

Just upgraded to XP: from what kind of cpu/RAM did you upgrade from?
RAM *is* an XP upgrade requirement: 128MB XP will run, barely; 256MB, XP
will run most generic applications, Office will be spotty; 512MB, XP and
Office will run adequately. What you describe is what others have found
running OfficeXP with unsufficient RAM.

You might take this to microsoft.public.word.application.errors or
another word newsgroup for a wider audience.
