TIP: You can quickly exit the "View Chart" window and many dialog boxes (such as the "New Chart Data Entry", "Chart Database", "Dynamic Reports Selection" etc.) by pressing the ESC short-cut key on the keyboard.
With dialog boxes check first that you have finished with that dialog; pressing "ESC" with some dialog boxes is equivalent to cancelling the dialog.
