Select all chart data points

[CL]

I have made a graph in Excel 97, but I cannot select all data points on
the graph. When I click on a data point only every other point (or so)
is highlighted.
I have deleted the graph and re-entered the data, still no good!
If I make a quick temorary graph by opening excel from scratch in a new
window this seems to work (click on a point and they all highlight).
Is there a default setting somewhere!?
Thanks

What is it you want to do with the series once you select it?

CL, most likely it is just an appearance issue. Either you the the entire
series selected or just a single data point. After selecting, click on the
Format menu. The choices there will in effect tell you if you have the
series selected or a data point.
