This is an example of how the new Excel formats are nice, except when
they're not. I've spent a half hour on this, and I can't figure out how to
get away from the oblique lighting effect. I also found the new interface
for surface/contour charts difficult to use to get the orientation and
perspective I wanted.

When I create a flat contour chart, XL insists on making all the areas
teselated surfaces so that I get shadowing of the areas instead of a
steady
single colour. I want to turn this off and get a single colour for each
contour level (like all the XLs before 2007). I can't figure out how to
do
this. Can someone help me.
