Thank you for the directions. After clicking once to select the line I moved
the mouse pointer between two markers and right-clicked to bring up the menu
that lets you format a point instead of the whole series.

The first suggestion seems to imply one can select individual segments on
a
line (e.g. a month) and format it manually. From what I see in Excel,
formatting is applied to the whole liine. How is it possible to select
line
segments?
Also, I tried the second series idea but it is inserted in the chart at
the
beginning of the year rather than at the beginnng month for the new
series.
What causes that?

from
solid to dashed and keep the same color and weight.
