I've had another go at printing a chart. The worksheet concerned is "2010".
The chart I want to print is embedded in a worksheet that has 365+ lines
(goto line 210). I only want to print the chart, so I click on it (to
highlight it). When I go to format page/sheet/ and untick everything except
charts - the print preview shows text. Not a chart, on a single page.

However I have found today that if I highlight the chart, then paste it into
a new sheet, the chart appears on the new sheet and will print. However
formating the page still resulted in some strange responses - like text ,
not the chart, being previewed. The disadvantage of this method is that the
chart will not be updated when the new data is entered in the spreadsheet.

It would be best if the chart would print from the original sheet - but the
software does not seem to recognise the fact that I have highlighted the
chart (ie: After I click on the chart, there appears a square in each corner
and an anchor top left.

I've attached the file that is misbehaving, it might help!

Thanks for your efforts.

Ubuntu rules!

Tim.
