Secondary Y Axis in Ms.Excel

I am trying to make a graph in Ms.Excel which has a secondary axis.
Basically this is an example of the data I have:

Primary Y axis(Left) Secondary Y axis(Right)
Abundance(1000/m2) Biomass(g/m2)
100 200
200 500
... ...

Both these data series have to be plotted against the same X axis.

How do I do it? I already saw Excel's help and all it says:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot a data series along a secondary value axis in a 2-D chart

When the range of values for different data series in a 2-D chart
varies widely, or when you have mixed types of data (such as price and
volume), you can plot one or more data series on a secondary value (y)
axis. The scale of the secondary axis reflects the values for the
associated series.

Click the data series you want to plot along a secondary value axis.

On the Format menu, click Selected Data Series, and then click the
Axis tab.

Click Secondary axis.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now my problem is that when select any Format menu there isnt an
option called as 'Selected Data Series' so I cant proceed?

If this info is helpful in anyway then my sys is running WinME,
Ms.Office 2000 Premium Edition.

I have tried to make this same graph in Ms.Word 2000(Ms.Graph 2000)

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
1) Make the chart in the usual way - the two data series will use the same
y-axis for now
2) On the chart, right click the data series you want to use secondary axis;
from popup menu select Format Axis; open the Axis tab
3) click in the Secondary Axis option box
Your chart should now be as required.
Come back if any problems.
