We take Powerpoint and Excel charts into Adobe Illustrator to spiff
them up before posting on the Web or putting into printed
publications. But with Office 2007, plot lines are no longer just
lines, they are lines AND fills--they have both line and fill
attributes. So when we bring a chart into Illustrator and we want to
change the color of a plot line, we have to change the color of the
line (stroke) AND the fill. If we want to change the stroke thickness
(weight), we are stuck--we can't do it. Does anyone know of a way to
make plot lines in Powerpoint and Excel simple lines (and not shapes)?
