Default how to select multiple data series in a chart?

I have a line chart width 41 data series, the default line width is to wide
to really let me se the overall picture. Is it possible to either select
multiple data series, in order not to have to do this 41 times, or to change
the default line width of the charts?

Only one series can be selected at a time. You can format one series,
then select another and press F4 to repeat the formatting on that one,
etc. In 2007, F4 is not too reliable.

You could also run a macro:

Sub FormatLineWidths()
Dim srs As Series
For Each srs In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection
srs.Border.Weight = xlThin
Next
End Sub
