Excel 2007 : I have a 2007 excel file that I link to Word 2007... problems

I have several charts and graphs linked to Word from Excel. I am using 2007 xslx and docx formats for both. When I select a chart design with 3d or depth, the linked file in Word contains black dots where the 3d/depth exists instead of crisp curves. Is there a way to fix this?

Please see this image album which documents the error.
