Closed as program error.
Error description
You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 19 or 20 and create pie charts with chsrt templates where you defined own colors for the slices as the available colors on color palette. For example on "Choose a color tab" you selected the RGB tab and entered own RGB values. Additionally your template incluse other settings for the template e.g. transparent borders for slices and data value labels. When you export these charts as Enhanced Metafile EMF chart files you notice that the charts are not exported properly. Sometimes you see only one exported slice, sometime only the data value labels etc. This was reported to IBM SPSS Development. As a workaround please do the following: Open a pie chart you created with your template in chart editor and click on File - Save template. Save your template again but do NOT check this option below "All settings - Layout": Do not check "Text data, and other frames". Save your template without this option and recreate the pie chart. Export the recreated pie charts as EMF files now and they will be exported properly then.
