washed out charts
I am a tech at an elementary school. The students are learning how to use
Excel and have just started printing charts. When they print 2 dimensional charts, the charts come out with clear vibratn colors, when that same chart is converted in to a 3 dimensional chart, the colors become washed out to the point where you can't tell the difference between the default blue and the default purple. Does anyone know what causes this, or more importantly, how to fix it? |

blache -
I suggest that you "fix it" by teaching your students to _not_ use a meaningless third dimension in their two-dimensional charts. Such embellishments are commonly referred to as "chart junk." - Mike http://www.MikeMiddleton.com "blache" wrote in message ... I am a tech at an elementary school.
