My daughter uses Office XP for Students and tEachers. The version of excel
within, apparently does not allow for 3d charting. The 3D option appears
on the pull down menu, but it is not selectable. Is this feature not
available on this version of excel? <

Your version of Excel is full-featured; only the price and license are
different.

You've created a chart, and the "3D View" option is grey on the Chart menu.

You must first create a 3D chart type (e.g., a 3D Column chart type or a
Surface chart type) using the ChartWizard (or other methods).

After you create a 3D chart, you can use the "3D View" option to rotate the
chart.
