How do I add a data series in a combination chart in PPT 2003?

I have a combination bar/line chart showing gross revenues and passengers by
month over a 3-year period. The gross revenues are bars on the primary
y-axis and passengers are lines on the secondary y-axis.

I am trying to add gross revenues and passengers for CY2010. I am able to
add a data series for the passengers, but when I try to add a data series for
the gross revenues, the chart treats it as a series on the secondary axis as
a line.

How do I add the series as a bar on the primary axis, or alternatively,
change the series from a line on the secondary axis to a bar on the primary
axis?

Your help greatly appreciated!

Right-click the series and choose Change Chart Type. Choose the column
chart.

Then right-click the series and choose Format Data Series. On the Axis tab,
choose Primary Axis.

(Going by memory here, as I don't have PPT 2003 handy right this minute. If
my memory isn't as good as it should be, holler back and we can look for
exact places.)

Thank you, Echo S. This worked perfectly. I actually tried this before I
saw your post; great minds thing in the same direction.
