We just switched over to PowerPoint 2007 from 2003 and are trying to updated
trending charts. When double clicked on the standard options appear
(convert, convert all, edit existing). When we try to use any of these
options, PowerPoint says either "One or more charts in this Document cannot
be converted to the current MS Office Chart Format" or that it cannot edit
this chart format. Has anyone experienced this problem and found a work
around that does not include scrapping the chart and starting from scratch?

I don't recall having heard of this one before. Do you know whether any of
these charts might be from even older versions of PowerPoint?

You might try this:

Select the chart then run this macro on it:

Sub WhatChart()

With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
With .OLEFormat
MsgBox .ProgID
End With
End With

End Sub


Here it tells me that a 2003 chart is Chart.8

I'm curious to see if yours is a different version.
