Charts are captured between rows and show up in powerpoint

[chrissym1981]

First, I want to thank you in advance for reading this and helping me. I am in a real pickle here and cannot seem to figure out what is going on.

The Problem: I am using Excel 2003. I created several charts in my excel workbook and then proceeded to add and delete rows to move my charts and data around. Somehow in this process parts of charts are now trapped in between rows. The only way that I can see anything wrong in excel is if I highlight the affected area. The line between the rows appears white. The problem happens when I copy these charts into Powerpoint for my presentation. When I paste the excel selection into powerpoint as a picture, parts of the graph appear. I tried to ungroup the picture to delete the part of graph showing. When I ungroup the picture, suddenly the whole chart is showing on the powerpoint slide. How do I delete this "white line" with the chart data trapped inside? I do not know how to describe this technically, but I hope this makes sense. Has anyone ever experienced this? Thanks!
