How to delete chart
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 |

How to delete chart
When the border changes, can you press Delete again? In other words,
select the chart and press Delete twice quickly. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://peltiertech.com/ NonTechie wrote: I created a histogram and want to delete it.

No, pressing delete twice quickly doesn't work. After I press the first
delete, the chart is not able to be selected for anything. "Jon Peltier" wrote: When the border changes, can you press Delete again?

How to delete chart
ALSO, I am able to delete charts created through the Charts tab, such as
column, pie, and X Y (Scatter). The chart I am unable to delete is the chart created through the Histogram function (Data Data Analysis Histogram and check Chart Output).

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 - Mike http://www.MikeMiddleton.com "NonTechie" wrote in message ...

How to delete chart
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.
