Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I have posted this in the University Edition forum. Maybe someone from SAS will see it there and help out, but if not, I can live with saving as RTF, then copy-specialing into Powerpoint and ungrouping. Reeza's early suggestion for creating completely separate graphs of each series using by-group processing is also a good way to get the elements of each series clear of all the other series, so it can be grouped and then added animination-wise to a full plot.
