SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, you may have difficulty using the keyboard to select a chart type under Chart Sub-Type in the Chart Wizard dialog box. If you click the Chart Sub-Type section in the dialog box and press any of the arrow keys, the chart type is changed.

NOTE: This problem does not occur in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows.



WORKAROUND
To select a chart sub-type using the keyboard, press COMMAND+, where is a number from one through nine (1-9) that corresponds to the following grid:   1   2   3 4  5   6   7   8   9 Each number corresponds to a chart sub-type; for example, if you press COMMAND+1 when the Chart Type is Column, the chart sub-type is changed to Clustered Column. If you select an invalid chart sub-type, nothing happens.

Note that you can also use the mouse to select a chart sub-type.



STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
