I have xy scatter plot using dates for x axis.  I change the min and max on
the x axis weekly.  The problem is that the lines are "bleeding" over the y

(make sense?).  thanks

name occurs in a column? I would really appreciate it. Maybe just like
a pie chart that everytime a new name is added it adds it in the chart,
and everytime a name is repeated it just adds to the count of the name

My students are plotting the temperature of a liquid over time.  We can make
a beautiful line graph, but the scale of the X axis is wrong.  It should show
tick marks at 30 second intervals, but instead it just shows 1, 2, 3, etc.  I
have tried checking off "time scale" when I ...

X axis is 100 data points, and all must be displayed.  They do display, but
are all mushed up.  In Corel, you have the option to display the X axis on up

manipulate the number of categories between tick ...

Thanks,

I have automatically generated datapoints in a chart that show up where I put
them, but in Print Preview show up on the top or bottom of the chart .  I
