That works! Thanks very much.
Not real intuitive, since for most if not all other modifications that
are done to the chart, the chart needs to be double-clicked to go into
edit mode. And I was not able to find this anywhere in any documentation
that I searched. I can't claim that it wasn't there; it could be that I
just missed it. But it certainly wasn't obvious.
Anyway, thanks again.

Step 1: Click anywhere else besides the chart. You want to remove focus.
Step 2: Click the chart ONCE ONLY to put focus on the whole chart.
Step 3: Right click and in the context menu you can click on a link
to the data source.

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.
