You are talking about the y-axis, I trust - not the x-axis?

o Double-click the chart, so that it shows its grey border (not the 
eight coloured handles).
o Right-click the y-axis and go to Format Axis... (or go to Format | 
Axis > | y-axis...).
o On the Scale tab, remove the ticks from Automatic as necessary and 
modify the Minimum, Maximum, and "Major interval" values.

Note that the labels will follow the grid you have defined only if 
their font size is small enough to permit this. You can adjust this 
on the Font tab of the same dialogue.

I trust this helps.

Trip? What trip? Do you know something I don't?!

It's possible that I do!

However, my apology; I mixed up you for another poster (Rory).

Thank you, Brian. As is the usual case, your concise hints are extremely helpful.  Yes, my issue was in regard to the Y-axis scaling. 

I hope you have a successful trip.

Vince

I vaguely recall that there is a way to adjust those limits, but I have not been able to locate the edit-dialog. I want high limit to be "250" and low limit to be "100" and increments of 5.
