Selecting a chart element

Several handles are displayed. Handles are small black boxes that appear around the perimeter of a selected object, indicating that you can move, resize, copy or delete the object.
Selecting an individual data point or an individual data heading in a data series.
Click twice in succession using the left-hand mouse button on the chart element (not a double-click!).
