I also noticed the grayed-out "Data Sources" menu choice, and it seemed like that was just what I wanted -- if only it wasn't grayed out! I tried a number of things, including creating a very simple chart from scratch, and the selection was always grayed out.

Subject: Re: [users] Finding and editing data ranges of charts

I'm not sure if the question about changing the source data is in the user guides. I've downloaded the most recent OOo general guide and its not in there, and there isn't one from OOoAuthors. I'm don't know how to do that either. When a chart is double-clicked for editing, a selection called 'Data Sources' appears in the Edit menu, but it's greyed out. Maybe that's the way
to do it if you find a way so it's not greyed out.
