Thread: Can't hide chart borders?

Hi all,

I created a pivot chart in excel 2003, saved it and everything looked perfect. Then I opened it in excel 2007, with compatibility mode enabled, made some changes like adding an image to the chart, a hyperlink, small things. I saved the chart and then opened it again is excel 2003. Now the chart has a dashed border which I cannot remove. I can make it white so it's not visible, but setting the Border radio button to None does not remove it. I found one other person complaining of this on a different forum, but there were no replies as to what the problem is or how to fix it.

Does anyone here know why an open->save->open cycle between 2007 and 2003 should create permanent borders? Any thoughts on how to get rid of it instead of just hiding it?

Thanks in advance!
