SYMPTOMS
When you paste an object into the floor of a three-dimensional (3-D) chart, the background color of the floor may turn black.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you set the Area pattern of the floor to None before you paste the object in the chart.
NOTE: If you select the floor of the chart and press DELETE, you set the Area pattern to None by default.
WORKAROUND
To paste an object into the floor of a 3-D chart and prevent the background floor color from turning black, do not set the Area pattern of the floor to None before you paste the object.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
