Excel 2007, highlighting or bolding a single gridline

Hello,

I need some help. I am creating a chart using Excel 2007 and, I am trying to figure out a way to highlight, bold or glow a particular gridline using Excel 2007. I want to place emphasis on a particular frame rate by adjusting it's horizontal gridline. However, the problem is that Excel 2007 will not allow you to mouse click on a particular grid .

If I recall correctly Excel 2003 allowed me to mouse click on the grid of choice and make changes to it as I see fit. With Excel 2007 if you mouse click on 1 grid all the grids are chosen, thus the problem. I've been looking around but I do not know the technical term used for this.



As you can see from the example above all the gridlines are highlighted (called Glow in Excel 2007). All I want to do is highlight just 1 (maybe 2 of them). Is there a way to do this?

To further clarify I want to be able to change the gridline to look something like this:

Where in this example the max FPS uses a green gridline while the min uses a red gridline.

I'm not familiar with 2007 but have you tried Ctrl+click?
