Change background / color of chart worksheet?
Need steps to change the color or backgound of the worksheet that is a chart.
Have multiple tabs in workbook that are just the charts. Only option for background is to use Format-Sheet-Background. That changes background of chart, but not the grey areas around the chart on the chart tab. |

Change background / color of chart worksheet?
You need to select the Chart Area (what you call the, "grey areas around the
chart") and format that. There are 2 separate, "parts" to a chart:- 1. The Plot Area (which you seem to have formatted OK) and the 2. Chart Area. You need to select each of them to format them. If my comments have helped please hit Yes. Thanks. "Maj_USA_Ret" wrote: Need steps to change the color or backgound of the worksheet that is a chart.

You're stuck with the gray areas, as far as I can tell.

Change background / color of chart worksheet?
The areas either side of a chart seem to be coloured according to the
colour scheme you choose, in Excel 2007, ie based on the blue, silver or black theme. Howver, if you resize the chart and/or zoom in/out you can fill the available space so you can't see them, but this depends on your monitor resolution and aspect ration - your colleagues may get a different view of the chart than you.
