I am using Excel 2000

How do you tell which chart you have used? Ex: I have a line chart that
does exactly what I want it to do and another one that does not. How do I
tell which chart I used. I tried selecting the chart, right clicking the
mouse and when to chart type. The column/bar list was listed with the column
chart highlighted, but my chart is a line chart. How do I know which
sub-line-chart I chose?
