    Keyboard shortcut to select embedded chart

    Does anyone know if there is a built in keyboard shortcut or sequence of keys that will navigate between the spreadsheet and an embedded chart? It will be easy enough to create a macro, if needed (activesheet.chartobjects(1).select assigned to a reasonable keystroke), but I am first wondering if the keystroke is already built in.

    Ctrl + Page Up or Page Down moves between sheets, not sure if it would work what you are wanting though.

    Right, that works very well for charts that are in their own chart sheet. I am hoping for something just like ctrl + Page Up/down that will let me navigate between a worksheet and its embedded chart (or charts).

    Select one chart then the Tab key will jump from chart to chart. Shift tab goes in reverse.

    Only other way I know if is Ctrl + 6, but that just hides/unhides the chart.

    newdoverman, that's almost what I am looking for, except for a key that will also jump back and forth between the spreadsheet and the chart(s).
