Looking at my version, 2.0.2, there seems to be no way to change the data range independently. In other words, I suspect that any script would have to set up the chart afresh. I suppose you are aware of the chart project? http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html . Whether it will cater for this sort of situation is another matter. Somewhere in the maze of websites, you may be able to find intelligible details. You can download OOo with the new chart module for test driving. I understand that the developers hope to have the new chart module available in 2.2.3. There is a release timetable somewhere in the Wiki if you want to search for it. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/adjustable-data-range-tf3359563.html#a9345585 Sent from the openoffice - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
