Change the background color of the markers to "no color", then you'll see
that many of the squares in the selection dropdown are really crosses and
other shapes.

"Change shape of points" <Change shape of
wrote in message ...
Dear sirs,

I know how to change the shape of a point in a chart in Excel 2003, but
unfortunately you can only use squares, stars, ... . For experiments my
tutor
wants crosses. Perhaps I make something wrong, but I don't see a
possibilty
and the help doesn't have information for this problem. Can somebody help
me?

Thanks

Valentin
