For the heaven sake, how can I add a legend to the chart without choosing
different chart style?? Whenever I need to modify a chart I must choose
another style then make my modifications. What on earth was wrong with the
commands of excel 2003 and earlier? They were quite easy to handle. The only
new thing I found in office 2007 is the innovative color and shapes systems,
and the ability to see the final result before applying the change. What a
big deal!!!
Not to mention that there is no option to group a text box with a chart even
in Word, which gives me hard times arranging my documents whenever I add more
pages before the charts.

Hi,

Do you not add a legend via,
Chart tools Layout Labels Legend

And If I select a textbox and chart the right click menu has Group as an
option.

Have you installed the latest service pack for Office, SP2?

Cheers
Andy
