Spiggy, I've seen the same. Going into debug is the same as turning
screenupdating on. It seems it is needed on when one creates or modifies
charts.

Thanks for that, it's greatly appreciated. Very, very kludgey,
though.. Excel 2007 seems to be a really poor substitute for 2003. The
help functionality is much less usable, functionality has just
disappeared (FileSearch, for instance), I have errors that go away as
soon as I enter debug, and crazy things with chart width that seem to
go away if I turn ScreenUpdating off and then immediately on again.
Nice work there, Microsoft.
