I have a Histogram chart that I am trying to add a smooth line to. According
to help I select the data series, go to the format series section, then the
Pattern Tab and select the Smooth check box but there is no Smooth check box.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

have you already converted the data set to a line?
Are you sure you have the line selected when you look at the pattern section?

A smooth line makes sense only for a Line chart or a XY Scatter chart
-- basically, charts that have a marker of some kind.
