Default combination stacked column and line data

Don't spend a lot of time looking for every last permutation in the "built
in custom" chart types. What you probably want isn't there, but it's easy to
roll your own type.

Make a chart with all data plotted in one format (probably line, so you have
to change fewer series). Select a series that you need to switch, and use
Chart Type from the Chart menu to change it to the type you want. Repeat for
the next series you need to change.

Help.
I've been asked to create a chart that has two sets of data that are
stacked
(columns) and 5 sets of data that display in line format. Is this an
option
in Excel. I can do a columan and a line but can't seem to add more than
that. I'm using Excel 97 (but have access to Excel 2003).
Please and thanks.
