In some chart I would like to adjust some parameters of the X-axis (esp.
the minimum and maximum, since the values choosen automatically are a
bit "uneven" and it would be nice to have a range of 0..20'000 and
tickmarks at 5'000, 10'000 etc, than an axis of 1..17495 and tickmarks
at other odd numbers.

But my charts has >20000 data points and many of those lie on or very
near the X-axis. So, how can I select the X-axis itself (in order to be
able to do a right-click and then select "Format Axis")? Whenever I try
to select the axis I only select the data series. And there seems no way
to adjust the axis' properties via the menu.

Minor point: That's actually the Chart Toolbar. The Chart menu is in the
menu bar between Tools and Window when a chart is active.

Michael, you can select your dat series (or any other element in yr chart)
and then use the arrow keys to "walk through" your chart elements until you
arrive at the one you want to edit/re-format. As long you hv not too many
plotted series this shld work.
