Default how to locate a point on excel graph?

Luke -

Number 1 is easy:

Chart Events in Microsoft Excel

Number 2 - I've seen descriptions of programs that digitize scanned
images, but I've never used any. One that I've seen several times is
called Grab It (http://www.datatrendsoftware.com/).

Jon,
Not intending to thread-jack, but are both of those possible? I was recently
asked by a colleage if it was possible to randomly pick a point on a chart
and have excel then spit out the coordinates.

Expanding on this, would it be possible to do something similar using a
scanned image (say, a graph from a textbook)?
