Is the text box 'grouped' to the chart?
If so, it is treated as part of the chart

Bernard,

Thank you for your reply. That is certainly true when I place a text box
on
a worksheet but when it is on a chart the "Print Object" option is not
available; not greyed out, just not there.

In XL2003 I could put a text box on a chart and mark it to NOT print
with
the
chart. Having upgraded to XL2007 I can't find how to do that and
previous
(2003) spreadsheets that had non-printable text boxes now print those
boxes
in XL2007.

Can anyone help, please?
