unfortunately you completely lost me. i have never seen the name function before... i was not even able to follow the concept...


here is an example of what i am used to. if you click anywhere on the graph the lines show up around the data and the labels and all... and if i move the line around the data, excel moves the label lines along with it. in the other reports, the only time i see those boxes is when i click directly on the data points within the graph, and when i change one it does not move the label one with it...

as i said, this is not a big deal, i am just trying to understand what is different about them that causes them to react differently...

thanks for your time - sorry i am so dense sometimes...
