Thank you to Andy and Jon for the replies.

Andy your suggestion worked as I wanted it to work. Don't know why MS did it
such a way that if I want to copy just the one chart, I have to hold the
shift key to effect what I wanted. I would have reported this to MS if I know
how - maybe they can remedy this.

I have two further questions that I would like to ask but one of it is not
directly related to the topic - however I could not find the exact avenue to
address it to.

1. (Related to my question/topic) What would be the technical term or
explanation to what I am trying to do (copying the chart with the white
handlers) and why the difference between the handling when the handlers
around the perimeter of the charts is either white circles or black small
squares?

2. (Unrelated to my question/topic) When I click the link from my
notification (when there was a reply) email from this newsgroup, sometimes it
gets me directly to the reply but other times the link only gets me to the
start of the newsgroup, from which I have to then look for my postings. Would
anyone be able to explain why this is the case? If this question better
posted elsewhere, I would appreciate suggestion of a suitable newsgroup.

Thank you once again. Look forward to receiving responses.
