SYMPTOMS

If you open a chart saved in an earlier version of Microsoft Excel, the category labels on the x-axis of your chart are displayed differently than in the earlier version of Excel.

CAUSE

Excel 2000 displays charts differently than earlier versions of Excel if they contain multiple-level category labels.

The following behaviors are new to Excel 2000:
  • A separator line is placed between each category in the hierarchy of the category labels.
