Does anyone know how to make an area graph transparent?

I've got two statistic series I'm trying to compare and an 2 area graphs that overlay one another would be perfect. Is this possible?

On your second chart, right click chart white area and choose "Format Chart Area".
In the "Patterns" tab, in the Area section click "none".

Do the same with the "plot area" of the chart.

Now when you drag this chart over the first one you will be able to see through it.
You may want to remove the border and other chart properties to get the effect you want.
