setting defaults for data point size, color, shadow, etc.
I make a lot of Excel XY (Scatter) charts. Every time, the charts get created with the same set of colors, sizes, and shadowing of the markers (the dots in the plot), and it happens that I don't like these colors, sizes, and shadowings. So each time I make a plot, I go through and change these things to settings that I like. Is there a way for me to reset the default settings so that these charts are automatically made with the settings that I like? Thanks. -- EJF ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EJF's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32065 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=518159

Make chart as needed and select it (click on it)
Use command Chart | Chart Type Select Custom tab and then User-Defined Click Add ... the rest is self-evident best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "EJF" wrote in message ...
