Prior to Excel 2007, you have no ability to change the boldness of the
marker outlines. You can shrink the markers, and you could remove the
outlines altogether.

When I copy my graph to Word, the markers (marking the data points on the
graph) are too bold. I cannot adjust this in Excel with the window 'Format
Data Series', under the tab 'Patterns': only the weight of the lines can
be
adjusted there. Is there another way to decrease the weight of the
markers?

Thanks!
