This may not even qualify as an Excel problem but I figured it might be a place to ask. I have a chart with multiple series which are represented by symbols (-x-, -o-, -*-, etc.). I want to remove the legend but be able to insert these symbols as text so that I can copy them over to Word. To be clear, they have to be text so that I can have a caption which reads:

Figure x, blah blah blah, Series a (-x-) Series b (-o-) etc.

Is this possible? I might be making a mess of the googling but I can't find anyone who has expressed a similar interest in doing this, it mostly seems to be the other way round i.e. people wanting to insert symbols into the legend.

Any ideas at all would be very welcome.

Cheers.
