Change shape of points

Change the shape of points to crosses in a chart
 
Dear sirs,

I know how to change the shape of a point in a chart in Excel 2003, but
unfortunately you can only use squares, stars, ... . For experiments my tutor
wants crosses. Perhaps I make something wrong, but I don't see a possibilty
and the help doesn't have information for this problem. Can somebody help me?

Thanks

Valentin

Change the background color of the markers to "no color", then you'll see
that many of the squares in the selection dropdown are really crosses and
other shapes.
