I am trying to create a template to be distributed throughout the company to
aid in the creation of standard charts -- colors, patterns, fonts, etc.
Unfortunately, Ihave not been able to get the user-defined chart types to
save with the template. Is it possible to do this? I'm new to Excel, so I
hope I'm just missing something.

Sadly, I believe the best you can do in Excel is send out a template
with the standard charts in it, then instruct all the recipients in how
to save those as user-defined chart types in their own Excel setup. It's
a strange failing on the part of Microsoft, to have failed to provide a
way of distributing user-defined chart types around an organisation.

It might be possible to send out the file in which the user-defined
charts are stored, and instruct people in how to install it in the
appropriate location, but that will end up replacing whatever
personalised file they themselves have created, and many people may be
unhappy with that.
