Default Selecting a point on a chart in Excel 2007 on Windows 7

Kirill -

Excel charting through 2003 was pretty reliable and the related
interfaces were effective. Excel 2007 changed all that, unfortunately
not for the better.

I've experienced this problem when the chart had a lot of points close
together. It's like the points have a larger envelope than just the
visible marker, and one point's envelope may obscure the next point.

I don't know how to avoid this problem.

Hi,

I have a macro that operates on a point, selected on a chart. It works fine
in Excel 2003 on Windows XP, Windows 7, and in Excel 2007 on Windows XP.
However, I can't seem to select a point by clicking on it in Office 2007 on
Windows 7.

Sometimes when I select the chart *some* point gets selected, but I can't
change that selection either by clicking on another point or by using the
keyboard (both ways work fine in Excel 2003).

Is there a way to *reliably* select a point on a chart in Excel 2007?

Thank you!
