Excel chart wizard missing in 2008?

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I want to put my chart into a different pane; there is only so much one can see on a 13 inch screen. I used chart wizard in 2004 and it asked me where I wanted to display my chart. In 2008 I only have the Elements (?) selection so chart appears OVER the table of data..yuch! How can I assign a chart in a new pane? Thanks.

Yeah, 2008 [as well as 2007 on the PC] automatically assume that you want a
chart plastered right onto your worksheet... And typically overlapping your
data as well. Of course, you can then drag and/or resize as usual, but if
you want the chart on a separate Chart Sheet do either of 2 things: Select
the chart & go to Chart> Move Chart... or Control/Right-Click the chart &
select the same command from the contextual menu. You'll recognize the
dialog that pos up as being the same as Step 4 of the old Chart Wizard

Thank you. Messy though considering we are in the 21st century with touchscreen iPods and MS touchtables yet still can't simply do a chart in an Office app. Progress huh
