    Excel 2003 Data labels on chart have disappeared

    The Mystery is solved! It turns out that the labels were no longer being displayed because they were plotted on the same (primary) X axis as the other data, although the value of each point was the label text itself, meaning that it was below the minimum value for the X axis. In office 2000...

    Excel 2003 Data labels on chart have disappeared

    Changing the screen resolution doesn't seem to make a difference. I was hoping for a fix that was quicker and easier than that, but it looks like I may have no choice. Thanks for the advice.

    trying to use copy in excel closes the workbook

    thanks geoff, i hadn't thought of that. just tried it with all of them, and the ctrl-c problem still manifests itself in the new workbook! This makes me think now that the error must be in one of the worksheets. I guess i'll copy the sheets to a new workbook one by one. joy! thanks

    trying to use copy in excel closes the workbook

    well, good as that suggestion sounds, it is impossible to copy the data because excel's built in 'copy' method appears to be corrupted for this worksheet. just going to have to use and earlier version of the file, and then update the data by the looks of it. thanks for your time anyway tony.

    because i have opened the worksheet with macros disabled and the error still occurs. also, i checked that no macros had been associated with the ctrl+c keystroke

    I am having a strange problem with an excel workbook. when i try to copy a cell using ctrl-c, the worksheet closes. i have eliminated macros as being the cause. the error also occurs when you right-click and select copy, or when you select copy from the edit menu. also, and i believe this is...
