Custom chart problems
Andrea -
I've never noticed this behavior, but you're right, custom user-defined charts don't support invisible chart area formatting. The best I can suggest is a workaround. Select a chart, start the macro recorder, call the macro ClearChartBackground or something equally descriptive, and reformat the chart area to be invisible. On the View menu, choose Toolbars, then choose Customize. Click the Commands tab, select Macros in the left list, and drag Custom Button from the right list to a command bar somewhere. Right click on the smiley face button, change it to a reasonable name (which will be the tooltip), change a different button image or draw your own, and most important, assign the macro you just recorded to this button. Whenever you make a chart, click on this button to clear the background. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ Andrea56 wrote: In creating a custom chart, Excel doesn't seem to keep the border and chart background settings at "None"...all the other formatting is retained (fonts, etc.), but the chart always reverts to a solid white background and a thin black border around the chart. I have to go in manually and remove these each time. Is there any way of creating and retaining these 2 settings as default or as part of a custom chart?
