Chart wizard picks wrong data for axis

This is in Excel 2003.

I have a block of numbers in C104:I111, with columni labels in C103:I111
and row labels in B104:B111.

I want to create a line chart with the rows as series and column labels as
X-axis labels.

When I highlight the information and click the chart wizard, it makes the
columns the series and uses the row labels for the x-axis. I've tried
selecting other text, but the wizard does it the same way every time.

Is there a way to force the wizard to do what I want, instead of what it
wants?

Thanks.

PS: I just upgraded from 2002, where I never had this problem, as far as I
can remember.

First, clear cell C103. Second, in step 2 of the chart wizard, on the
Data Source tab, choose the By Rows option.
