Default Excel 2007 format High Low plot area

EXCEL 2007

To shade the Plot Area:-

1. Click in the Chart to highlight it / ChartTools becomes visible on the
right hand side of the Title Bar / click in the Format contextual tab (just
beneath ChartTools) / in the Current Selection group select Plot Area in the
only drop down list in that group / now click on the Format Selection buttton
(still in the Current Selection group) / Format Chart Area pop up window
should launch with Fill highlighted on orange on the left hand side / choose
the colour that you want from the Color: drop down arrow / Close.

Your Plot Area will now be coloured as you wish.

2. With ChartTools still in place on the right hand side of the Title Bar /
click on the Layout tab / Analysis group / Lines / High-Low Lines can be
toggled on or off here.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.
