I have a spreadsheet with three worksheets. On each worksheet is a stacked
bar chart. I have beveled edges on two of the charts but beveled edges cannot
be applied to the third chart. I have Excel 2007 with service pack 2 and all
recent patches. This chart is four rows with about 12-15 columns. Not all the
columns have data in them. Any suggestions?

You may not like this:
re-design your charts without eye-candy like bevelled edges. they add
nothing to the information of the chart. Consider the "data to
pixel/ink" ratio. Less is more. Bevelled edges don't enhance your chart,
they only distract from the information the chart tries to provide.
