Edit line chart markers in PASW 18

Joseph Hoffman

Hi fellow SPSS users,
  I'm using PASW Statistics 18 in a Windows environment, and I am trying to use the Chart Editor to edit a simple profile chart from GLM showing a line chart of four groups over three times.  The default markers initially used are the same for all four groups, namely, small round circles. How can I edit the markers for the 4 series to use different markers, e.g., a small square, triangle, etc., for the different groups?  When I try to select the markers for one series, the editor automatically selects all markers.  Is there any way to select just the markers for one series?

Thanks for any suggestions!

I believe it works like Excel where clicking on the marker once selects
them all and clicking a second time selects just one series.  At least as
near as I can tell that is how it works, and I am able to change single
series.
