Thanks again.

Yes I realized that they are looking for the "line option" but it is
not available to me. 100% it says "Format Chart Area" and not Plot
Area. I would consider myself above average in Excel (hell, wrote my
master's thesis in it) so I don't think I am making any newb mistakes.


Check this article out: They are doing rounded corners with the "Border
Styles" option. I notice that I do not have any check mark box for
"Rounded Corners" in my excel 2007.

Add a shadow and rounded corners to the chart. Note: the rounded
corners option is only available in worksheets, not in chart sheets.
2007 - Right click on the chart background.
Select the last option "Format Chart Area."
Select "Border Styles." Put a check next to "Rounded Corners."
Select "Shadow" Change the "Size" option to 105%
