How select all data points/data labels at once (to format)?

[kippers]

Hi,

I know this is possible as I sometimes do it by accident(!), but how do you
select all data points/data labels in a graph at once so that you don't have
to select each point/label individually in order to format?

cheers!,

You can select an entire series at once. Select something different in a
chart, then click once on the series to select all points (not all points
will be highlighted if there is more than a nontrivial number of points in
the series). Or click once on a label to select all the labels in the
series. A second single click on a point or a label will select only the
clicked point or label.

Thanks Jon- sorry to sound thick but please can you explain what you mean by
"...a nontrivial number of points in a series..." ?
