Okay, let me see. I could not find any obvious bug reports for this by googling, but let's see if we can troubleshoot it a bit.
-Are the pie charts disappearing as you save it to XLS, or are you only seeing that they are gone when you go to open the XLS version? e.g. are they staying in the ODS file, and are they then visible in the XLS file when opened in Open Office, and are they visible in Excel if you have it? Am trying to figure out at which step the problem is occurring. -I am wondering if it's possible that the charts are still there and have just disappeared behind something, though it doesn't seem possible to send a pie chart to back behind the spreadsheet or something weird like that (using the "Arrange" menu), just behind other objects.
Also, I just tried to replicate this error on my computer (Open Office 3 on a MacBook running OS 10.5.8-- which versions are you dealing with?). I can still see the pie chart I created, but in the XLS version opened in Excel (2004 for mac) the colors have disappeared and it's all the same shade of blue. If I open the XLS file in Open Office, the colors are still there. Hmm...
