Default Can't change gridlines colour a second time

Hi,

I changed my chart gridlines to white to make them invisible and I now
want to change them back but I can't find them! When I scroll over the
chart I can only click on the plot area, not the white grid lines.

Can someone tell me how to change the colour again?

Kind regards,

Alison

Have you tried clicking on the right hand or top edge of the chart? If your
axis & gridline spacings are still on the auto settings, you'll normally
find a grid line at the edge.

Another way, if you can't find the white lines on the white plot area, is to
change the plot area colour to something other than white.

Another way is to select them in the chart element drop down on the chart
toolbar.

Yet another way is to use the cursor keys to cycle through chart elements.
