How to hide a dummy series in a chart legend?

[holg3r]

I have a chart that shows five data series. To highlight the first on
(which has a special status), I inserted an invisible dummy serie
between this first and the second series. This works well -- however
as a side-effect, the dummy series also shows up in the legend, in th
form of white space between the legend entry for the first and secon
series. Is there a way to prevent the dummy series from appearing i
the legend -- while still retaining it in the actual chart?

I scanned Jon's pages on dummy series and failed to find any remark o
this issue... Any ideas?

Thanx,
Holge

You need to select just the legend for the series that you want to go away.
Right click and select CLEAR.

Cool!
I didn't even know you *could* select legend entries for individual
series. (Even though I had tried before.) But it works well -- the
legend key for the dummy series (or rather the empty space reserved for
it) disappears entirely while the dummy series itself stays in the
chart. Just as I wanted.
Thanx!
