Hello Barbara,

Do you use Alt and F11 to open VBA editor. If so, instead of opening the VBA editor are you inadvertently pressing the Windows key and F11 which inserts a Chart sheet. I do this frequently and I am still looking a for a keyboard that types what I meant to type instead of what I did type.
