Freeze charts so they cannot be moved

How can I "freeze" the charts on it's positions so no users can move them around?

I tried to go to Settings -Document Properties -Layout and then un-tick the box saying "Allow Move/Size". This is not working. Any other ideas how to solve this?

Select all objects you do not want to move, go to properties, go to Layout, and un-tick "Allow Move/Size".

The setting you changed would have apply to future objects.

The method you describe is the correct action, this will stop a normal 'click+drag' action moving the chart. However, holding ALT whilst 'click-dragging' will move the chart no matter what the setting of the Allow Move/Size box.

I can't see any easy way of stopping the user using ALT to ignore those settings.
