If you want to move a set of data in a line graph in front or in back of another set of data, 
you must select the entire set of data, including the legend. Selecting just the data points 
is not sufficient.
To select an entire data set in a graph:
Select the group-selection tool  .
Click the legend of the columns you want (for example, Group A). 
Without moving the group-selection tool pointer from the legend, click again. All of the 
columns grouped with the legend are selected.
You can also select a group by clicking one of its parts, clicking again to select columns 
grouped with it, and clicking a third time to select the legend.
Each click adds another layer of grouped objects to the selection, beginning with the next 
group up in the hierarchy. You can click as many times as the number of groups to add to a 
selection.
To deselect part of a selected group:
Select the direct-selection tool  .
Hold down Shift, and click to deselect the object.
To change part of the type in a graph:
Select the group-selection tool  .
Click once to select the baseline of the type you want to change; click twice to select all 
of the type.
Choose Window > Type > Character or Window > Type > Paragraph.
Set the type attributes you want to change. Changes you make apply only to the 
selected type.
About graph designs
You can create and apply custom markers or columns to represent data in graphs. Graph 
designs can be a simple drawing, logo, or other symbol representing values in a graph, 
such as a bicycle; they can also be complex objects that contain patterns, guide objects, 
and type. You can reuse graph designs and edit them to make a new design. 
Using a graph design is different from painting a column with a pattern. Graph designs are 
scaled so that the design fits within the column. Once the design is used in the graph, 
the design can be selected and modified.
You can apply a graph design in a column or stacked column graph, or in a bar or stacked 
bar graph. You can also use a graph design to replace markers in a line or scatter graph.
You can create the following types of graph designs:
vertically scaled design is stretched or compressed vertically. Its width does not 
change.
