Default From OP: Adding Lines And Boxes, etc. To A Chart ?

Hi,

Thank you very much for the help.

One more on this, please.

Apparently the default grid does not allow me to make a truly horiz line.

Moving the end of the line always seems to result in just a bit more than
horiz if I
move it up or down just a little.

Hard to believe the grid doesn't allow for a true horiz line, but that
seems to be the case.
Think I'm doing anything wrong ?

How can I change the grid spacing ?

Is it possible to do a "nudge" of one end of the line ? How ?

Thanks again, appreciate the help,
Bob

Hi,

With the chart selected you can use the Insert tab Illustrations
Shapes.
To add shapes to the chart. Textbox is in the Text group of the Insert
tab.

Cheers
Andy

Hello,

Will blame it on my age.

Using Excel 2007 (or, at least trying to) and XP.

When I have a chart page opened up, how do I get it to show the bar on
the bottom (that the real old versions had) that allows one to click on
one of its icons shown to "draw" lines, arrowed lines, boxes, add text
with a box, etc on the chart itself ?

Thanks,
Bob
