Default Inserting images in an Excel bar graph chart

I would like to know how to insert an image (.bmp or .jpg) into the colums of a bar graph (the images stack one upon another to fill the bar field). Any help you could give with this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Rachel,

Select the columns and press CTRL+1 to display format dialog.
On the patterns tab in the Area section is a Fill Effects button.
This will display another dialog, choose the Picture tab.
Press the Select Picture button and locate the image file.

Cheers
Andy

When you click the Fill Effects button, a dialog box opens. On the tabs
across the top, you should see 'Gradient', 'Texture', 'Pattern', 'Picture'.

What tabs do you see?

Hello again, I don't have a Picture tab. I'm using WindowsXP and Excel 2000.

Thanks,

Rachel
