Thanks, Mike. It works now. I now have Microsoft Office Excel 2007
(12.0.6425.1000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000). This Thinkpad T400 computer and
preloaded software is only a week old. Evidently they didn't install the
latest updates. And besides I thought my automatic MS updates would have
taken care of it, but obviously either it didn't or I set it up wrong.

So things are working fine for now. Thanks again.

So, you don't have two service packs, SP1 and SP2. I suggest it's time to
get updates:

Office Button | Excel Options | Resources | Check for Updates

I created a histogram and want to delete it. I select it and the faint
double
border apperars. There are no square handles like in 2003. Then I press
the
Delete key. The faint double border goes away replaced by a single thin
black
border. The chart is still there and is not able to be selected at all.

I entered "delete chart" in the Excel Help window, and there was
nothing
at
all on deleting a chart. Ditto for "remove chart." I got no help
searching
on
the internet either.

I have Excel 2007 and Windows XP Professional
