I tried that a few times, no help. I think I may be failing in a more basic
way. According to what I see in your picture in the tutorial, it appears
that the source for the paste special (ie the selection I have copied at the
time) are the column of zero's and the column of number series zero through
whatever the number of rows I have...is this correct? Is there something
else I am missing? It seems so simple, yet everthing I do, it moves all my
data plots into a vertical column. thoughts? Thanks again for your time &
expertise!

On the Paste Special window Options:

1. Upper left: Check Add cells as: Select new series
2. Lower left: Check Categories (X values in First Column)
3. Replace Existing Categories: Uncheck Replace Existing Categories

When I paste special, I get the vertical pight purple squares on the
y-axis,
but it also moves all my data points into a vertical column as well
instead
of leaving them where they were.

It sounds as if you've got the "Replace existing categories" box checked.
Uncheck it to avoid the range of zeroes being used for every series
x-values.
