To reproduce
1. In Calc, create a simple chart
2. Copy the chart to a new spreadsheet
3. Save the new spreadsheet to Excel .xls format

1. If the new spreadsheet is saved to OpenDocument Spreadsheet .ods, the chart
and its data display properly.
2. If the chart is pasted into Writer and saved to Microsoft Word .doc, the
chart and its data display prpoperly.

Hi,

the copied chart lost it's data reference, copying it into writer creates a
Chart OLE object with it's own data container. So activating it in Word would
lead in an action to start an OOo.

Excel can display charts without link to data if you feed it with comma
separated values or so. So this is not a defect but an enhancement.
