SYMPTOMS
You create a chart in Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Then, you add two objects to the chart. When you try to connect the objects, the point at which the two objects connect incorrectly appears outside the chart boundaries. Therefore, you cannot connect the objects. For example, you cannot connect a line to a rectangle in the chart.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:  Create two objects, and then connect the objects outside the chart. Drag the connected objects into the chart. Group the chart and the objects together. To do this, follow these steps:  Select the chart and the objects. Click the selected chart and objects, and then click Group in the Arrange group on the Format tab.
