Legend on Chart
I am updating chart that includes three years of data and want to add 2008. The data has transferred, but the legend shows 2007,2008,2006. How can I get 2008,2007,2006 in order in the legend? Change the order of the series.

How to use different return email addresses
I use outlook 98. I have a mailbox with three aliases. People sending me emails can use any of the three email aliases and the email will arrive in the same mailbox. Accessing the mailbox once will retrieve all messages regardless of which alias was used. If I reply to these emails though, I want the recipient to think that the email has come from the alias that they originally used. What outlook always seems to do is use the email address of the service that is listed first in Tools->Services->Delivery. Is there any way Outlook can be set up so when I reply to a given email, my email ...

Publisher 2003-How does one learn how to use it?
I'm disgusted with Microsoft. I purchased Microsoft 2003 with digital imaging expecting to find manuals on how to use the product. There was a manual for the digital imaging, but none for Publisher. How does one learn how to use Publisher, through osmosis? Not including an operating manual is like going into a restaurant and ordering your meal only to find out the restaurant doesn't supply silverware. Does anyone know ehere I can get a manual or training? I appreciate your responses. Ron strange you think Microsoft would care about what you think. Ron Publisher up to version...

Demographic chart?
Hi, I need to create a demographic chart in Excel, but I can't find the proper chart type. Is there a suitable chart type? I've gone through all options I can think of for a regular bar chart. (In my world, a demographic chart is a bar chart with the values pointing in two different directions... Not very complicated, but Excel doesn't seem to agree with me!) Does anyone know of an adequate solution?

Excel 2007 Line Chart with Markers
I'm using a Line Chart With Markers tracking 4 data lines: Red with Circles Black with Squares Blue with Diamonds Yellow with Triangles The yellow with triangles is very light and doesn't show very well in my PP presentation. I would like to change the color of just that one line. How do I do that? Click on that series in the chart, and right click, format series. You should now be able to change the color of the series. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Bishop" wrote: > I'm using a Line Chart With Markers...

quick charting question for similar charts on multiple sheets
Hi, just wondering if there is a quick solution to my problem. I have several charts, all virtually identical except for the data values in them, and i have one chart per sheet, and about 100 sheets. The problem is that some charts are positioned slightly different on their respective sheets then others on other sheets, although some are identical from sheet to sheet aswell. Just wondering if there is a quick way to select them all, line them up identically on each sheet, with all the same size/formating etc.? Thanks. -- Boon8888 -----------------------------------------------------...

Charting/ Graph question
Hi all I'd like to visually display a table that contains the following table structure StaffName Software 1 Skill Level Software 2 Skill Level (10 software titles >) (around 50-60 people) What i'd like to is output a simple visual output that shows me how many people are at a particular level for the each software (but all on one chart).

macro status indicator
I have a macro used in Excel that takes about 5 minutes to execute. I am worried that users will become impatient, or think that their computer has frozen in the mean time, and will shut the program down before the code has finished executing. Now, when you download files from the internet, they always have little indicator boxes, showing you how much of the file has been downloaded. Does anyone know a VBA code for displaying such an indicator? I have a message box to let users know how long it will roughly take, but an indicator box of some sort would be great.

Looping Macro to Find and Mark
Hi All, I am looking for a macro that will search a variable length column to find a specific embedded character string (regardless of case, i.e., "Display", "display", "DISPLAY" are the same) and then color code the found cell (any color) and place an "X" in the cell one column to the right of the found cell in the same row. Any help would be appreciated. Wish list: I would like to set the macro in motion to search all worksheets. Search column will always be the same on each worksheet. Will only search one column.

Toolbar button to run a VBA macro
I have written a VBA macro in Publisher 2003 that makes some formatting changes. It works fine. I would like to create a toolbar button that I can click to run this code. How do I do that?

I don't find that in Publisher. If I try to copy another button with the intention of changing its function, when I right-click the copied button, there's nothing on the menu that allows me to attach a macro to the...

Simple State Diagram flow chart in Visio?
I am trying to make a very simple State Chart Diagram in Visio. I'm not sure if I should just use the basic flow chart or not, as I'm not familar with UML. I simply want to describe a software program that will move two one of four "states" based on some conditions, then loop back around. I am not opposed to just making a flow chart but was hoping to make it look a little more "professional" using a State Diagram. The examples seem rather complicated, I don't want to have to define variables and all that using UML, I just want to show the four "states...

How To Chart A Formula in Excel 2007
I'm looking to plot multiple formulas on a single chart, and came across a thread from 8/12/2005 for earlier versions of Excel for a single function, which causes errors when recreated in 2007. Error is A Formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references Verify that your formulas contain a valid path, workbook, range name, and cell reference I presume its due to changes in 2007, and possibly the Evaluate formula as I cant find it listed in 2007.

Can't change pt. size in a 3-D Format Chart
For some reason, I am not able to change the width and height point sizes when I am trying to apply 3-D formatting to a chart in Excel. I try to type the numbers in, but the pt size just defaults back to 0. My husband thought it may have been a stuck number key somewhere, so I turned the computer off and rebooted. No change. Any ideas? Thanks! Point sizes of the whole chart? What's wrong with a good old 2D chart? You won't have this kind of problem, and you won't distort the data you're plotting, either. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services,...
