Basically the steps a select a chart that with the formatting required;
right-click the chart and choose Chart Type; check the "Default" box in the
dialog. From then on all new charts 'inherit' the formatting of the chosen
chart

Hello!
I'm (still) making my dynamic charts from access to excel. Everything's
working just fine, except the fact that all properties (like gridelines,
legend position, axis names...) are set to default values, and I want to
modify them. Does anyone know how and why are they set to default
properties?
Thanks, you've been most helpfull so far!
Ana
