Excel 2008 - no longer able to print just a chart

[justFEA]

Can find no method of printing just a chart in Office 2008. Selecting the
chart and going to print does not work. I could re-size it to cover up the
1st page, but I'd probably still get hash around the edges. I also miss the
Add-Ins (solver & goal-seek). Sounds like another MS work-in-progress. Are
any of these features coming back? Hope I can get a refund and buy Office
2004.

Hi,

In Excel 2004 and 2008 you can right-click or control-click on a chart and
choose Save As Picture from the pop-up menu. Then you can open and then
print the picture file.

It appears the feature of being able to Print > Selection seems to be gone
from Excel 2008.

In Excel 2004 and 2008 you can use the Chart menu to move the graph to its
own Chart sheet then print just that sheet.
