"FootPrint" vs. bar Chart
 

I would like to create a chart similar to a bar chart, except that instead of
a bar, I want to use a symbol. For example, for 5,000 units I would like to
see a series of footprint symbols going up to the 5,00 axis line instaed of
the standard bar. Is there any way to do this?

I am running Win 2000 and using Office 2000-soon to be upgraded to Office
2003.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Thanks to all!

Paul,
This is easy to do, i just don't know where to get the "footprint"
symbols.

Right click on the Bar of the Chart.
Format Data Series.
Fill Effects.
Picture.

And the options you need are there.
Some good chart resources:
