Hi Regina, thanks a lot for your reply. Of course, Writer and Calc are just examples for having the chart data included or not. However, Jay and me wonder how to get internal data in Calc working. I guess your are talking from a programmer POV and the data is always stored with the chart. So Calc is the exception.
About the sidebar the idea was to have access to chart data not the OLE object. But I'm not sure if this direct access really needs to be available. On the other hand the properties sidebar section that we have right now would be a nice means to tweak chart content instead of the multitude of dialogs. Just to start with one of them ;-). Cheers, Heiko.
