Default X-Axis Scale Options Missing

Arun -

Use an XY (Scatter) chart type, not a Line chart type.

That is, select the chart, and change the chart type from Line to XY
(Scatter).

I have a basic line chart with 4 series on it. I want to change the range
displayed on the x-axis (as I have done on numerous charts before). I
right
clicked the axis and selected 'Scale' tab, but to my surprise the menu was
missing selections. Instead of options to display 'maximum' and 'minimum'
values, I instead have a menu with options to select where the Y axis
crosses, the number of categories between tick marks. Nothing about
maximum
or minimum values.

What gives??
