Default Chart format copying?

Can't do this as Charts are already there and depend on very different data -
i'd have to go back and change the source data for each.

How does the macro version work? If I record a macro for the one chart
wouldn't it just update the one chart every time I ran it? Is that what Joel
meant by editing the macro? Does anyone know how to do that in this room?

Format one chart the way you like it, copy the chart, select the next chart,
go to Edit menu Paste Special, and choose Formats.

Note, this will also copy such things as the chart title and customized
label text.

Hello I have a bit of a problem - I have over 100 pie charts that need to
have their colour scheme changed so that they can be seen against a dark
blue
background. Is it possible to do this quickly or do I have to change each
segment of each chart individually? Is it even possible to choose all the
indivdual colours for the segments while the graph is being created?
Basically, any changes en masse is what I'm looking for. TIA
