I have recently been using a new installation of Microsoft Excel 2007, which
is up to date with updates/patches/service packs. Anytime I create a chart
within a sheet, next to the data, I have no issues seeing it. However, when
I move this chart to a new sheet, it disappears! I can't see the chart at
all.

If I open the file on another computer, the chart is squished into a small
rectangle. I have tried to maximize the rectangle, and reopen the file on
this new computer. However, even after reopening the file, I cannot see the
chart!

I have run Office Diagnostics, and it has reported that there are no issues.

I do a lot of charting, and I prefer to view the results in their own sheet,
without having to run to a different machine every time I wish to view my
results. Does anyone know what is happening? If so, how can I fix it?

The chart is probably tied to the data on the spreadsheet. Try hitting
print screen and just copy the chart image if you want to be able to
quickly reference it elsewhere.
