Chart View

Is it possible to have several charts on one sheet and
have the chart be viewed like thumbnail view (or just a
smaller version of the chart) and all you have to do is
click on the chart you want to open up or zoom in and it
will make the chart legible.

That's an interesting idea. Here's one way I just tested and like
because it involves no programming.

Create a chart of interest. Put it on a worksheet. Enlarge it so that
it is the 'zoomed in' version.

Select the cells beneath the chart. Copy. Switch to the worksheet that
will serve as the index. Select Edit | 'Paste Picture Link'. Shrink
the pasted object to the desired size. Right-click on it, select
Hyperlink... In the resulting dialog box, click the Bookmark... button
and select a cell just under the top left corder of the full-scale
version of the chart.

Now, when you click on the shrunk version, XL will hyperlink to the full
version. Use XL's Web toolbar's 'Back' button to return to the index
worksheet.

You can clean up and prettify (is there such a word?) the objects
involved in the task above as desired.
