Default User-defined charts

They should not at this time upgrade only because of charting. There are
other features which may make the upgrade attractive (more rows and columns,
enhanced formatting, the new table feature, and more), but charting has not
progressed beyond Excel 2003.

The customer in this project is considering to upgrade. They make
several reports every day with lots of charts in each report. One of
their main goals is to achieve consistant formatting througout all the
charts, without spending too much time and without letting the users
have to format it manually.

If this is easier with 2007, it may be an argument for upgrading.
