I have a series of embed charts in a worksheet, all of which need to
have various changes made. I am currently using code as follows
(extract)

'Sets the series point markers
With Selection
.MarkerBackgroundColorIndex = xlNone
.MarkerForegroundColorIndex = 3
.MarkerStyle = xlPlus
End With

'sets the depth axis properties
ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).Select
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue)
.MinimumScale = MinDepth
.MaximumScale = MaxDepth
.ReversePlotOrder = True
.CrossesAt = MinDepth
End With


In varoious articles on this news group I have seen it mentioned that
selecting an object slows the code down and isnt nesacarally the best
option.

I am curious as to what would be the best practice for this situation
